Default scanbd install references missing scripts

[Dylan Justice]

The default install references a missing script (and directory) at /etc/scanbd/scripts/test.script. The install detected my scanner and logged a button action (yay!), but reported the following cryptic errors on syslog. This would be impossible for a newbie to figure out.

 scanbd: trigger action for scan for device fujitsu:ScanSnap S510M:503191 with script test.script
 scanbd: access: No such file or directory
 scanbd: stat: No such file or directory
 scanbd: execlp: No such file or directory
 scanbd: dbus match type='signal',interface='org.freedesktop.Hal.Manager'
 scanbd: Not Primary Owner (2)
 scanbd: trigger action for page-loaded for device fujitsu:ScanSnap S510M:503191 with script (null)
 scanbd: trigger action for scan for device fujitsu:ScanSnap S510M:503191 with script test.script
 scanbd: access: No such file or directory
 scanbd: stat: No such file or directory
 scanbd: execlp: No such file or directory

I'd suggest including a scripts/test.script with the following content:

 #!/bin/bash
 # Replace this placeholder script with something like
 # https://pypi.python.org/pypi/scanpdf

 logger -t "scanbd: $0" "Begin of $SCANBD_ACTION for device $SCANBD_DEVICE"

This bug could be fixed by documentation --- there is no documentation with the package about the scripts!

To get this working, I had to understand scanbd.conf, which is in directory with 72 other .conf files. It took an hour to just understand what I was supposed to do.

I like Dylan's default script. I would also add to the log "This script is located at /etc/scanbd/scripts/test.script if you want to edit it."

For other users' information, this was the script I ended up using:

#! /bin/sh

echo >> /tmp/scanbd_tests.txt
echo Starting. >> /tmp/scanbd_tests.txt

echo Running as `whoami` >> /tmp/scanbd_tests.txt

DATETIME=`date +"%FT%T.%N"`
echo Datetime is $DATETIME >> /tmp/scanbd_tests.txt

DIR=`mktemp -d`
cd $DIR
echo made and moved to $DIR >> /tmp/scanbd_tests.txt

echo scanning >> /tmp/scanbd_tests.txt
#scanimage -L # tells you what devices are on the system.
scanimage -b --format png -d 'fujitsu:ScanSnap S1500:5856' --source 'ADF Front' --resolution 150

# WARN: PDF generation was disabled by default.

echo converting *.png >> /tmp/scanbd_tests.txt
convert *.png scan.pdf

echo OCR-ing >> /tmp/scanbd_tests.txt
ocrmypdf scan.pdf scan_ocr.pdf

DIRNAME=/home/mike/Desktop/Home/life/scanned_documents/
FILENAME="scan_${DATETIME}.pdf"

echo moving to "$DIRNAME$FILENAME" >> /tmp/scanbd_tests.txt
mv scan_ocr.pdf "$DIRNAME$FILENAME"

echo changing owner of "$DIRNAME$FILENAME" >> /tmp/scanbd_tests.txt
chown mike:mike "$DIRNAME$FILENAME"

echo Done. >> /tmp/scanbd_tests.txt
