5.4.9 Pausing Spoolers
Use the pdpause command to pause a spooler. A supervisor cannot be
paused. When a spooler is paused, it will not submit jobs to supervisors, but
the logical printers associated with the spooler continue to accept new jobs.
The pdpause command has the following syntax:
pdpause -c server [-m message_txt] [-x extended_attribute_string] [-X
attribute_filename] server_name
-m message_txt
Allows you to include a message when the server is paused. The
message can be read with the pdls command.
-x extended_attribute_string
Specifies a series of attribute type=value pairs that are set when
the pdpause command executes.
-X attribute_filename
Specifies a file that contains a series of attribute type=value pairs
that are set when the pdpause command executes.
The following example shows how to use the pdpause command to pause a
spooler ( red_spl):
# pdpause -c server red_spl
5.4.10 Resuming a Server
Use the pdresume command to restart operation of a spooler that has been
paused by the pdpause command. The syntax of the pdresume command is:
pdresume -c server [-m message_txt] [-x extended_attribute_string] [-X
attribute_filename] server_name
-m message text
Allows you to include a message when the server operation is resumed.
The message is retrieved with the pdls command.
The following example shows how to use the pdresume command to resume
a spooler and set the server message:
# pdresume -c server \
-m "Spooler operation resumed at 13:00" red_spl
