Managing Spoolers, Queues, and Logical Printers

Shutting Down and Restarting the Spooler

Also, the now option for the -w ﬂag works the same as after-current.

The following command also has the same results:

pdshutdown -w now Spool1

The system shutdown process will do the equivalent of a pdshutdown

-w now for any HPDPS server or client daemon on the system. No special

set-up or processing is necessary for HPDPS servers to shut down

properly during system shutdown.

The after-current and now options work differently for HPDPS

supervisors. See “Shutting Down the Supervisor Immediately” in

Chapter 10 for further information.

Shutting Down the Spooler after All Jobs Have

Printed

Use -w after-all with the pdshutdown command to shut down the

spooler after all of the jobs in the queues contained in the spooler have

been scheduled to physical printers and printed. Using the after-all

option provides you with more control of the jobs when you shut down

the spooler.

Use the following command to shut down the spooler Spool1 after all

jobs have printed. The command also includes a message describing the

reason for shutting down the spooler.

pdshutdown -m "Shutting down spooler Spool1 for \

host maintenance." -w after-all Spool1

The value of the non-settable server-state spooler attribute changes to

terminating and all of the pending jobs in the queues contained in the

spooler are scheduled and sent to physical printers. The logical printers

contained in the spooler no longer accept jobs, but the spooler continues

to accept commands.

NOTE If there are any held or paused jobs in any of the queues, the spooler will

not shut down until you take the appropriate actions to print these jobs.

See “Deleting a Queue that Contains Held or Paused Jobs” previously.
