Adding a supervisor by copying an existing supervisor

Using the xpcopy -spvcommand you can copy existing supervisors in the system quite easily. This is useful if the new supervisor is to have similar attributes to an existing supervisor. Proceed as follows:

●Copy the relevant supervisor:

xpcopy -spvname_old_supervisor name_new_supervisor [modifications] \ [-hohost_name]

For name_old_supervisor specify the name of the supervisor you want to copy.

For name_new_supervisor specify the name of the new supervisor. If the name already exists, the command is rejected.

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

For modifications specify the modifications you want to make. Each entry in

this list consists of an option of the xpadd -spvcommand as well as a corre- sponding value. For more detailed information, see the description of this command in the “Xprint V7.0 - Reference Manual”.

Using the additional option -cacomment_for_ administrator you can also assign a comment to the supervisor when adding it to the system.

●Here also you must activate the supervisor: xpchange -spvsupervisor_name

A supervisor that is copied from the server of a local host to a remote host remains assigned to the server of the source host. If you want the supervisor and server to be defined on the same host, you should use the option -seserver_name when copying, to immediately assign the new supervisor to a server of the remote host before activating the supervisor (see example below).
