NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

/usr/lib/lp/lpsched [−U]
lpshut
lpmove requests dest
lpmove dest1 dest2

OPTIONS

−U Use UUCP-style addresses (host!user) when sending error e-mail to the user.  Without this option, "user@host" is used. 

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 destinations.  The first form of the lpmove command shown above (under SYNOPSIS) moves the named requests to the LP destination dest. Requests are request-IDs as returned by lp.  The second form of the lpmove command will attempt to move 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-IDs of the moved request are not changed, so that users can still find their requests.  The lpmove command will not move requests that have options (content type, form required, and so on) that cannot be handled by the new destination. 

If a request was originally queued for a class or the special destination any, and the first form of lpmove was used, the destination of the request will be changed to new-destination.  A request thus affected will be printable only on new-destination and not on other members of the class or other acceptable printers if the original destination was any.
