Running the SPOOL Program
num-of-print-processes
is the maximum number of print processes that will ever be declared for this
spooler. The range is 1 through 255. There is no default.
num-of-fonts
is the maximum number of font jobs that will ever be declared for this spooler.
The range is 1 through 2047. The default is 16.
num-of-batch-jobs
is the maximum number of batch jobs that will ever be declared for this spooler.
The range is 1 through 32765. The default is 256.
num-of-device-queue-nodes
is the maximum number of device queue nodes. All jobs in the spooler take
one or more device queue nodes, except jobs that are in the OPEN state and
jobs that have been placed on HOLD. If a group location or broadcast location
is the destination of a job, the number of device queue nodes used by the job
is the number of devices configured for the location. Jobs that are directed to
group.destination or to a location that is not assigned to a device use
only one device queue node. The default is 131,068.
R[EBUILD]
is used during a warmstart to specify new coldstart parameters or to recover from
control-file corruption. cold-start-parameters must be specified when you
use this option. See Considerations for more information.
Considerations
•
The supervisor forms the names of its control files by appending digits from 0
through 9 to the specified control-filename.
•
When cold starting a spooler, make sure that none of the control-filename
files exist, because the supervisor attempts to create them. If a file already exists,
the supervisor will fail and terminate. The spooler might not use all of these files,
but you should keep them reserved for use by the spooler.
•
You must specify NAME $supervisor-process, because the spooler will not run an
unnamed process. HP recommends that you use $SPLS as the name for the
spooler supervisor. Running SPOOLCOM without specifying a particular
supervisor causes SPOOLCOM to communicate with a process named $SPLS.
•
The process name assigned to a supervisor on a warmstart need not be the same
as the process name assigned to the supervisor the last time the spooler was
made active. It is the control file name rather than the supervisor process name
that uniquely identifies a particular spooler.
