Administration guidelines

Administering using the net admin command

6.4.1.6Displaying the order of print jobs

With SPOOL job management, Advanced Server for UNIX may not display the correct processing order of print jobs. This situation can arise if, for example, individual jobs are deleted from the printer queue and new jobs are then spooled in.

The actual processing order can be displayed using the command xpstat -jobin the Rank field.

6.4.1.7Changing the order of print jobs

The net print <job#> /first command can be used to set a print job to the SPOOL status TOP.

When a printer queue is stopped (HOLD status), all print jobs, including those

iwith the status TOP, are set to the status SUSPEND. After restarting the printer queue, all print jobs are set to the status WAIT.

Print jobs cannot be set to the status TOP when a printer queue is stopped. No error message is output to this effect.

The net print <job#> /last command is not implemented for the SPOOLV4 interface.

6.5 Administering using the net admin command

This command can be used to administer the specified server. For example, if the backup_2 server is the backup domain controller and primary is the primary domain controller, the command

net admin \\backup_2 /command <command>

can only be used to execute commands affecting the backup_2 server.

In this example, due to a lack of access rights, it is not possible to execute the command net user <username> <password> /add, as this command does not relate to the backup domain controller backup_2, but to the primary domain controller primary. In order to execute the command on the primary domain controller, use the command

net admin \\primary /command <command>.
