Mackie V7.0 manual Copying and modifying a server, 195

Configuring Xprint V7.0 Administering servers

Note that Xprint V7.0 creates a default server when you define a new supervisor without specifying an associated server (xpadd -spv-se). Similarly, a default server is created when you add a new printer without specifying a supervisor (xpadd -dev-su). This default server is then assigned the name of the super- visor or printer. It is only created if it does not yet exist in the system.

Copying and modifying a server

Using the xpcopy -srvcommand you can copy existing servers in the system quite easily. This is useful if the new server is to have similar attributes to an existing server. With the xpcopy -srvcommand, you define a new server on the host on which you issue the command unless you specify another host with the -hooption.

●Copy the relevant server

xpcopy -srvname_old_server name_new_server [modifications] [-hohost_name]

For name_old_server specify the name of the server you want to copy.

For name_new_server specify the name of the new server. If the name already exists, the command is rejected.

host_name represents the name of the remote host on which the server is to be added. Only the Xprint V7.0 administrator can add a server on a remote host.

For modifications specify the modifications you want to make. For more detailed information on possible modifications refer to the “Xprint V7.0 - Reference Manual”. With the options -spscheduling and -upuser_privileges you can define which scheduling policy applies and which users can assign supervisors to the server (see section “Administering permission lists” on page 143). See the “Xprint V7.0 - Reference Manual” for more detailed information.

Examples

–You want to copy the server hudson and name the new server nashua, nashua being controlled by host nile. Furthermore, you want the new server nashua to process the smallest job first instead of the biggest job as is defined for server hudson.

xpcopy -srv hudson nashua -ho nile -sp SMALL xpchange -srv nashua -st ACTIVE
