Administrative tasks under Xprint Introduction to administering Xprint V7.0
When starting Xprint V7.0, you can also specify whether jobs which were not
finished in a previous session are to be retained (setting WARM; default) or deleted
(setting COLD). Such a setting is useful, for example, if you shut down your
system while there were still print jobs on it with the status ACTIVE or jobs still in
the print queue. After a WARM start, these print jobs are processed again.
● Start Xprint V7.0 with the following command:
xpstart [-sa system_activation]
For system_activation specify either WARM or COLD. If you do not specify a
value, WARM will be used.
Stopping Xprint V7.0
With the xpstop command the system administrator (root) and the Xprint V7.0
administrator can terminate Xprint V7.0 on his/her local host. Furthermore, the
Xprint V7.0 administrator can shut down Xprint V7.0 on any host in the system.
If Xprint V7.0 is terminated on a local host, the following objects are also deacti-
vated:
– all its servers,
– all its local supervisors, even if controlled by the remote system,
– all its local printers,
– all remote printers and supervisors which are controlled by the local server.
Active print jobs controlled by a server whose host is shut down are inter-
rupted. (For more information see the command xpchange -dev -wn NOW.)
● Deactivate the system with the following command:
xpstop [-ho host]
The host option can only be used by the Xprint V7.0 administrator, as only
he/she is allowed to terminate Xprint V7.0 on remote systems.
Reinitializing the Xprint V7.0 database
You might need to reinitialize the Xprint V7.0 database, for example if it could
not be initialized when Xprint V7.0 was installed, or if the system breaks down.
● Call DBinstall:
/var/spool/Xprint/config/bin/DBinstall
● Enter NO when asked if this is a new installation.
