Administering supervisors Configuring Xprint V7.0
6.16.3 Modifying the attributes of a supervisor
You can modify the attributes of any supervisor you administer.
You cannot modify the attributes of an active supervisor. You must first
set it to the status NOT_ACTIVE.
To modify the attributes of a supervisor, proceed as follows:
● Deactivate the relevant supervisor(s):
xpchange -spv [selection] -st NOT_ACTIVE
For selection you can either specify a list of the supervisors you want to
deactivate, or you can use the -scl “selection_criteria_list” option (see
section “Selection criteria list” on page 266 in the Appendix) to define a list
of criteria according to which the relevant supervisors are selected. If
selection is not specified, the status of all supervisors is changed.
● Modify the relevant attributes:
xpmod -spv [selection] modifications
For modifications specify the attributes to be modified. You can use all the
options which are allowed when adding a new supervisor with the
xpadd -spv command. With the options -ca comment_for_administrator,
-se server_name and -ho host_name you can add a comment about the
supervisor for administrators, or you can assign the supervisor to another
server or host respectively. For more detailed information refer to the “Xprint
V7.0 - Reference Manual”.
● Reactivate the supervisor(s):
xpchange -spv [selection]
Examples:
– To modify the attributes of supervisor marcus and add a comment for the
administrator saying that this supervisor is a copy of supervisor nile:
xpchange -spv marcus -st NOT_ACTIVE
xpmod -spv marcus -ca copy_of_nile
xpchange -spv marcus
– To add a comment to all supervisors of host colorado saying that these can
be deleted:
xpchange -spv -scl "-ho colorado" -st NOT_ACTIVE
xpmod -spv -scl "-ho colorado" -ca please_delete
xpchange -spv -scl "-ho colorado"
