Administering servers

Configuring Xprint V7.0

Change the status:

xpchange -srv [selection] modifications

For modifications specify the required changes. These may be: -st ACTIVE (optional as this is the default) or -st NOT_ACTIVE, -si OFF or -si ON for the spoolin status and -so OFF or -so ON for the spoolout status, and -sa WARM or -sa COLD (sa standing for system activation) for retaining or deleting the print jobs from previous sessions. For more detailed information refer to the “Xprint V7.0 - Reference Manual”.

If you deactivate a server with xpchange -srv[selection] -st

NOT_ACTIVE, all the printers assigned to it are also deactivated. All print jobs active on these printers are stopped immediately and set to the status INTERRUPTED. If you activate a server with xpchange -srv[selection], the printers assigned to it are not activated automatically.

Examples

To reactivate server nashua and retain the jobs from the previous session: xpchange -srv nashua -sa WARM

To deactivate all servers controlled by host colorado: xpchange -srv -scl "-ho colorado" -st NOT_ACTIVE

6.15.4 Modifying the attributes of a server

You can modify the attributes of a server if, for example, you want to assign permissions to it which were not assigned when the server was set up.

Note: The attributes of a server with the status ACTIVE cannot be modified.

Proceed as follows:

Find out the status of the relevant server(s): xpstat -srv [selection]

For selection you can either specify a list of the servers whose status you want to display, or you can use the -scl“selection_criteria_list” option (see section “Selection criteria list” on page 266 in the Appendix) to define a list of criteria according to which the relevant servers are selected. If you do not specify selection, the status of all servers is displayed.
