PRINT Command

If you are an authorized user, you can use the PRINT command to specify attributes

and obtain the status, and change the status of the spooler print processes. See

PRINT STATUS Display on page 4-67 for a description of the print-process states.

All users can obtain the status of any spooler print processes.

$process-name

is the name of the print process to which the subcommands refer.

All subcommands except STATUS require that this parameter be included.

subcommand

is one of the subcommands described below. If subcommand is not specified, then

STATUS is assumed.

BACKUP backup-cpu

is the number of the processor (-1 through 15) that is to run the backup print

process. The default number is -1, which specifies that the print process has

no backup.

Tandem print processes do not run as process pairs, so this subcommand

enables the spooler supervisor to restart a print process. If backup-cpu is

specified and a print process primary processor goes down, the spooler

supervisor restarts the print process and any of its devices for which DEV

RESTART is set ON. A stopped process is not restarted. When the print

process is restarted, it is restarted in the backup processor, and the values for

CPU and BACKUP are switched. The operation of user-written print process

pairs is not affected by this switch.

CPU cpu

is the number of the processor (0 through 15) that runs the print process. The

default processor is the same processor as the supervisor.

DEBUG [ OFF | ON ]

sets the debug mode of the print process.

DEBUG or DEBUG ON specifies that this print process runs in debug mode;

DEBUG OFF (the default) specifies that the print process does not run in

debug mode. See the information on debugging print processes in the Spooler

Programmer's Guide, and see Considerations on page 4-65
