SPOOLER Command
SPOOLER Command
If you are an authorized user, you can use the SPOOLER command to start, stop, and
obtain the status of the spooler subsystem.
Refer to the Guardian System Operations Guide for a description of spooler states.
All users can obtain the status of the spooler subsystem with this command.
subcommand
is one of the subcommands described below. If subcommand is not specified, then
STATUS is assumed.
DRAIN
brings the spooler subsystem to an orderly halt after all jobs that are currently
printing or spooling have finished. This subcommand moves the spooler from
the active to the dormant state.
DUMP filename
specifies that a snapshot of the spooler supervisor process be written to the
designated file while the spooler is running. The filename parameter
specifies the name of the file where the dump is to be written. The dump file
cannot exist; the supervisor process creates a new file with file code 130,
which is an Inspect save file that you can subsequently read by using the
Inspect debugger.
The information dumped includes the user data space (including extended data
segments); the values of the P, E, L, and S registers; the values of the register
stack; and the names and status of any files opened by the supervisor process.
MGRACCESS [ ON | OFF ]
specifies whether group managers (user ID n, 255) can access jobs belonging
to their group members.
MGRACCESS or MGRACCESS ON specifies that group managers can
access those jobs. This capability applies to all group managers using the
spooler.
MGRACCESS OFF (the default value) specifies that group managers cannot
access those jobs.
START
starts the spooler (collectors and print processes). You can start the spooler
when it is in the warm or cold state.
