Verifying That HPDPS Processes Are Running
Using SAM to Verify HPDPS Processes
When you select any of the HPDPS subareas in SAM, the following
occurs:
SAM determines if the HPDPS client daemon is running. If not, SAM
starts it.
SAM collects information about spoolers, supervisors,logical printers,
physical printers, print queues, and jobs. You can see the status (or
attributes) of these objects by selecting the appropriate icon.
NOTE If you are using the DCE Extended Environment, SAM checks if you are
logged into DCE, and if not, displays a dialog box that will allow you to
log in to DCE.
Verifying That the HPDPS Client Daemon Is Running
at the Command Line
HPDPS requires that the client daemon process, pdclientd, is running.
To verify that the daemon is running, enter:
pdstartclient -q
If the HPDPS client daemon is running, you will receive the following
message:
5010-315 The HPDPS daemon is already running.
If the HPDPS daemon is not running, you will not receive any feedback.
Verifying That a Supervisor Is Running
To verify that an HPDPS supervisor is running, enter:
pdls -c server
SupervisorName
