Managing Spoolers, Queues, and Logical Printers
Shutting Down and Restarting the Spooler
Restarting the Spooler after It Has Been Shut Down
Use the pdstartspl command to restart a spooler that has been shut
down. The HPDPS print database stores permanent information about
the spooler and the objects it contains in files located in the directory
/var/opt/pd. You can log on to the system directly or through the
HP-UX rlogin command.
To restart the spooler Spool1, enter:
pdstartspl Spool1
When the spooler restarts, its logical printers and queues return to the
state they werein when the spooler was shut down. If the logical printers
were enabled, they can now accept jobs. If the queues were ready and
their associated physical printer or printers were enabled, HPDPS can
begin to schedule jobs to the physical printers after the physical printers
have re-registered with the spooler.
If you disabled any logical printers before you shut down the spooler, you
must enable them before they can accept jobs after you restart the
spooler. Resume any queues that were paused after you restart the
spooler.
NOTE You can use SAM to remotely start a spooler.
The DCE user and user group entries for the spooler control which
people can issue HPDPS commands that affect the spooler and the
objects it contains. The person issuing the pdstartspl command must
be root.
