Administering servers Configuring Xprint V7.0
Procedure
There are two possible ways of adding a server to the system: you can either
add a completely new server to the system with the xpadd -srv command, or
you can copy an existing server with the xpcopy -srv command and then
modify the relevant attributes.
If you want to allow administrators of other hosts to assign supervisors to a new
server, you must define a corresponding permission list. This is described in the
section “Creating a permission list” on page 144.
Adding a completely new server
● To add a new server to the system, use the following command:
xpadd -srv server_name [-ho host_name]
For server_name specify a unique name for the new server. If the name
already exists, the command is rejected.
host_name represents the name of the remote host on which the server is to
be added. Only the Xprint V7.0 administrator can add a server on a remote
host, but root and subroot can administer this server.
● Activate the server:
xpchange -srv server_name
You must run this command, as every new server is first set to OFF for all its
states (-st, -si, -so) and is therefore not available in the system. The
servers are activated automatically when Xprint V7.0 is started (xpstart
command).
When a server is activated for the first time, Xprint V7.0 creates in the
opt/Xprint/SV directory a subdirectory for this server which contains its
name, unless there is already a directory with the same name.
When adding a new server, you can also use the options -sp scheduling and -up
user_privileges to define which scheduling policy is to be used and which users
can assign supervisors to the server (see section “Administering permission
lists” on page 143). For more detailed information refer to the “Xprint V7.0 -
Reference Manual”.
