message can be retrieved with a pdls command.
The following example shows how to use the pdenable command to enable

5.4.7 Disabling a Server
Use the pddisable command to disable a server.
When a spooler is disabled, all previously submitted jobs are scheduled and
delivered to physical printers, while all requests for new jobs are rejected.
When a supervisor is disabled, jobs that are being processed by the
supervisor are completed, and all new jobs are rejected.
The pddisable command has the following syntax:
pddisable [-c class_name] [-m message_txt] [-x extended_attribute_string]
[-X attribute_filename] server_name
-c class_name
Specifies the class or type of object you are disabling. In this case class
is server.
-m message_text

command.
-x extended_attribute_string

type=value pairs that are set when the pddisable command executes.
The following example shows how to use the pddisable command to disable
