          LPSCHED(1M)          INTERACTIVE UNIX System          LPSCHED(1M)



          NAME
               lpsched, lpshut, lpmove - start/stop the LP print service
               and move requests

          SYNOPSIS
               /usr/lib/lpsched
               /usr/lib/lpshut
               /usr/lib/lpmove requests dest
               /usr/lib/lpmove dest1 dest2

          DESCRIPTION
               lpsched starts the LP print service; this can be done only
               by root or lp.

               lpshut shuts down the print service.  All printers that are
               printing at the time lpshut is invoked will stop printing.
               When lpsched is started again, requests that were printing
               at the time a printer was shut down will be reprinted from
               the beginning.

               lpmove moves requests that were queued by lp between LP des-
               tinations.  The first form of the command moves the named
               requests to the LP destination dest.  Requests are request-
               ids as returned by lp.  The second form moves all requests
               for destination dest1 to destination dest2; lp will then
               reject any new requests for dest1.

               Note that when moving requests, lpmove never checks the
               acceptance status [see accept(1M)] of the new destination.
               Also, the request ID of the moved request is not changed so
               that users can still find their requests.  The lpmove com-
               mand will not move requests that have options (content type,
               form required, and so on) that cannot be handled by the new
               destination.

          NOTE
               By default, the directory /usr/spool/lp is used to hold all
               the files used by the LP print service.  This can be changed
               by setting the SPOOLDIR environment variable to another
               directory before running lpsched.  If you do this, you
               should populate the directory with the same files and direc-
               tories found under /usr/spool/lp; the LP print service will
               not automatically create them.  Also, the SPOOLDIR variable
               must then be set before any of the other LP print service
               commands are run.

          FILES
               /usr/spool/lp/*
