START
The
START
command starts the background execution of various
NBSPOOL
services such as
BOOTP
and UNIX receiving. With this command, additional jobs for the running of these services are
unnecessary.
Once a background service is started, it remains running until either a
STOP
command is executed,
or the
QUIT
command is detected. If
NBSPOOL
is run from a job, it will suspend when the
EXIT
command is executed unless all background services are explicitly stopped.
START Syntax.
O> START {BOOTP | LPD | RECV | SPOOLING}
Note. This command cannot be issued from an interactive session.
START Parameters
Parameter Description
BOOTP
Starts the
BOOTP
service. This is used to configure LAN based devices
such as printers. This is only available on MPE/iX 4.0 and later.
LPD
Starts the LPD service. This service receives spool files from UNIX and
other systems.
RECV
Starts the NBSpool UNIX receiving process. This is used to receive spool
files from UNIX that support the NBSpool UNIX Transport, a proprietary
but reliable spooling transport.
SPOOLING
Starts up the
SPOOLCOP
process which is used to control all spoolers via
the NBSpool
SPOOLER
command. Note that no individual spoolers will be
started, only the control processes.
