LPSCHED(1M) — HP-UX
NAME
lpsched, lpshut, lpmove − start/stop the LP request scheduler and move requests
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/lpsched [−v]
/usr/lib/lpshut
/usr/lib/lpmove requests dest
/usr/lib/lpmove dest1 dest2
DESCRIPTION
Lpsched schedules requests taken by lp(1) for printing on line printers. Lpsched(1M) is typically invoked in /etc/rc. This creates a process which runs in the background until lpshut is executed. The activity of the process is recorded in /usr/spool/lp/log. If the −v option is invoked, a verbose record of the lpsched process is captured.
Lpshut shuts down the line printer scheduler. All printers that are printing at the time lpshut is invoked will stop printing. Requests that were printing at the time a printer was shut down will be reprinted in their entirety after lpsched is started again. All LP commands perform their functions even when lpsched is not running.
Lpmove moves requests that were queued by lp(1) between LP destinations. This command may be used only when lpsched is not running.
The first form of the command moves the named requests to the LP destination, dest. Requests are request ids as returned by lp(1). The second form moves all requests for destination dest1 to destination dest2. As a side effect, lp(1) will reject requests for dest1.
Note that lpmove never checks the acceptance status (see accept(1M)) for the new destination when moving requests.
DEPENDENCIES
Series 300 Diskless
In a clustered environment, all printers are attached to the rootserver and all spooling is handled as if the cluster were a single system. Remote spooling applies to spooling from or to machines outside of the cluster.
FILES
/usr/spool/lp/∗
WARNINGS
Moving requests associated with remote printers can cause unpredictable results.
Lpsched, lpshut and lpmove perform their operation on the local system only.
