PRINT Command
become dormant approximately two minutes after the process prints its last
job. If the print process does not become dormant at this time, issue a STOP
command from a TACL prompt to stop the process.
•
When a print process is in debug mode, it is not timed out by the spooler. This
means that the spooler waits indefinitely for a response. For this reason, print
processes should never be debugged on a production spooler.
PRINT STATUS Display
The STATUS subcommand produces a display with the following headings:
PRINT STATE FLAGS CPU PRI
Table 3-16 describes the PRINT STATUS display entries.

Entry Description
PRINT Is the name of the print process whose status is being given.
Is the state of the print process. STATE can be one the following:STATE
ACTIVE The print process is running. This means that it is
printing a job, it is controlling a device exclusively, or
it is an independent print process. Some print
processes remain active for a short time after
printing the last job in the queue before becoming
dormant. This delay avoids additional startup time if
a job enters the print queue during this period.
DORMANT The print process is not running. This means it has
no job to print, controls only shared devices, and is
not an independent print process.
ERROR
%nnn
The print process has failed. It must be removed from
this state before it can become active again. The octal
number that follows ERROR indicates the error
condition. It can be either %1000 plus a file-system
error number or %100000 plus a NEWPROCESS error
number.
FLAGS Can be either or both of the following entries:
I
The process is an independent process.
D
The process is in debug mode.
CPU Gives the numbers of the processors that will run the primary and
backup processes.
PRI Is the execution priority at which the print process runs.
