>Description:
The shell scripts included with the print/pdfjam port should be
configurable from /usr/local/etc/pdfnup.conf. They attempt to
source this and other files. They begin with #!/bin/sh which
runs them in a shell that uses . instead of "source."
>How-To-Repeat:
echo "paper=letterpaper" > /usr/local/etc/pdfnup.conf
pdfnup --help
Note that defaults still specify paper=a4paper.
>Fix:
I just changed the scripts to run /usr/local/bin/bash and that seems
to work. But it might be better to make them . instead of
source. I just didn't take the time to look for any other
bash dependencies. I suppose that there might not be any.
