server starts up in the background and runs relative to a runtime directory.
When you start a spooler or supervisor, you must do so from the root account.
5.4.3 Starting a Spooler
The command syntax for starting a print system spooler is:
/usr/pd/lib/pdsplr [-a] [-c] [-d ODBpath] [-e emailAddress][serverName]
-a
Rquired only for server startups taking place after the server had to
repair the object database as part of a crash recovery.
-c
Forces a database integrity check at startup after a normal shutdown.
(The server automatically checks the database integrity when it
restarts after a crash.)
-d ODBpath
Specifies the location of the object database files. The server requires
a server name on startup so that it can locate its object database.
By default, the server assumes that the object database resides in a
standard location for all server object databases (/var/pd/odb).
-e emailAddress
Specifies an e-mail address that should receive notification of server
startup errors.
If you do not specify an e-mail address, server startup errors are
reported to standard error and to syslog.
/usr/pd/lib/pdsplr -e [e-mail] myserver
The following examples show how to use the pdsplr command to start a
spooler:
• To start the spooler red_spl using no options, use the following
command:
# /usr/pd/lib/pdsplr red_spl
• To start red_spl and have notification of any startup errors
electronically mailed to the root account use the following command:
# /usr/pd/lib/pdsplr -e root red_spl
