lpshut

lpshut

The lpshut program shuts down the lpsched program, the scheduler for the LP spool system. The runstring is:

CI> lpshut

All printing activity at the time of shutdown is halted. No further printing occurs until the scheduler is restarted by running lpsched. Each print request that is actively printing at the time of shutdown is reprinted in its entirety when lpsched is restarted.

You must be a superuser to run this program.

The accept, reject, and lpshut programs are identical executables. Only one of these program files needs to be a type 6 executable; the other two may be, for example, symbolic links to the type 6 file or prototype ID segments for the type 6 file.

Return Status

The following status is returned:

$RETURN1 = the number of errors encountered; zero if none.
