Managing Supervisors and Physical Printers

Shutting Down and Restarting the Supervisor

Under normal conditions there is no reason to shut down the supervisor.

The only reasons to shut down a supervisor would be for a condition

requiring re-initialization of the system on which the supervisor is

installed or a condition requiring you to issue the HP-UX shutdown

command.

When shutting down the supervisor, you can:

• shutting it down after all of the jobs scheduled to physical printers

have printed

• shutting it down immediately

This section also contains a procedure for shutting down the supervisor

when the HPDPS client daemon is not running and shows how to restart

the supervisor.

Shutting Down the Supervisor After Jobs Have

Finished

Use the pdshutdown command without any ﬂags to shut down the

supervisor after jobs currently printing to the physical printers in the

supervisor have ﬁnished printing. For example, enter:

pdshutdown Super1

NOTE The -w ﬂag of the pdshutdown command determines the manner in

which the supervisor shuts down. The default for this ﬂag is

after-current, specifying that the supervisor shuts down after

currently printing jobs in its physical printers have ﬁnished printing.

Therefore, the command you entered above is equivalent to the

command:

pdshutdown -w after-current Super1

The after-all value for the -w ﬂag works similarly to after-current,

except that the supervisor shuts down after all previously scheduled jobs

have ﬁnished printing. For example:
