Configuring Xprint V7.0 Administering supervisors

6.16.2 Activating or deactivating supervisors

You can change the status of any supervisor you administer. A supervisor can assume three status values: ACTIVE, SHUTDOWN and NOT_ACTIVE. SHUTDOWN means that the status NOT_ACTIVE has been requested for the supervisor but has not yet been reached.

The status needs to be changed above all in two cases:

1.If a new supervisor is added to the Xprint V7.0 system, its status is automat- ically set to NOT_ACTIVE. For the supervisor to be able to perform its functions it must be set to the status ACTIVE.

2.If you want to delete a supervisor or modify its attributes, you must first deactivate it (status NOT_ACTIVE). A supervisor with the status ACTIVE cannot be deleted nor modified.

i

If you deactivate a supervisor with xpchange -spv[selection] -st NOT_ACTIVE, all the printers assigned to it are also deactivated. If you activate a supervisor with xpchange -spv[selection], the printers assigned to it are not activated automatically.

●To change the status of a supervisor, enter the following command: xpchange -spv [selection] -st status

For selection you can either specify a list of the supervisors you want to activate or deactivate, 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 supervisors are selected. If selection is not specified, the status of all supervisors is changed.

status is the status the supervisor is to have. This variable can assume the values ACTIVE or NOT_ACTIVE.

Examples

–To activate the supervisor marcus: xpchange -spv marcus

–To deactivate all supervisors with the comment “please_delete”: xpchange -spv -scl “-ca please_delete“ -st NOT_ACTIVE
