HPDPS issues a notification message when the supervisor has been
successfully shut down.
Restarting the Supervisor After It Has Been Shut Down
Use the pdstartsuv command to restart a supervisor that has been shut
down. The HPDPS print database stores permanent information about
the supervisor and the objects it contains in files located in the directory
/var/opt/pd. You must be logged on to the system on which the
supervisor runs to start the supervisor. You can log on to the system
directly or through the HP-UX rlogin command.
To restart the supervisor Super1, enter:
pdstartsuv Super1
HPDPS displays status information and issues a message when it has
successfully started the supervisor.
When you restart a supervisor, the physical printers it contains will
return to the state that they were in when the supervisor was shut down.
If the physical printers were enabled, they will be enabled when you
restart the supervisor. If you disabled the physical printers before you
shut down the supervisor, they will be disabled when you restart the
supervisor.
NOTE You can use SAM to remotely start a supervisor.
