6.16 Administering supervisors
A supervisor controls one or more printers and provides them with user data. A

supervisor from scratch or you can copy an existing one and, if required, modify
its attributes.
Note: If you add a new supervisor to the Xprint V7.0 system, the supervisor
status is automatically set to NOT_ACTIVE. When the supervisor is
activated for the first time (see section “Activating or deactivating super-
visors” on page 203), a subdirectory with the name of the supervisor is
created in the /var/spool/Xprint/config/SP directory (unless this has
already been done).

● Add a new supervisor to the system:
xpadd -spv supervisor_name [-se server_name] [-ho host_name]
supervisor_name is the unique name of the new supervisor. If there is already
a supervisor with this name, the command is rejected. For server_name

server name must be specified, otherwise the default name is used.
host_name represents the name of the remote host on which the supervisor
