SPOOLER Command
STATISTICS
displays additional statistics maintained with the spooler for the purpose of
better understanding how the spooler is currently being used. See SPOOLER
STATISTICS Display on page 4-72.
STATUS [ / OUT filename / ] [ DETAIL ]
displays the status of the spooler subsystem. See SPOOLER STATUS Display
on page 4-74.
OUT filename
indicates where Spoolcom is to write the status information. If not
specified, the information is written to the Spoolcom OUT file (usually the
home terminal).
If OUT filename is specified, Spoolcom writes the data to it in a manner
suitable for the file type, process, or device. The filename parameter
must be specified; if the file does not exist, Spoolcom creates an EDIT file
(file type 101). The file can be an EDIT file, unstructured file, relative file,
entry-sequenced file, spooler job file, process, or device.
DETAIL
requests a complete list of all status information.
Considerations

Any user can obtain the status of the spooler; however, only members of the
authorized group can modify the attributes of the spooler.

The MGRACCESS subcommand setting does not persist through a warm start of
the spooler. The default setting is MGRACCESS OFF; if you want access on, you
must reenter MGRACCESS ON after a warm start.

The DRAIN subcommand stops the spooler in an orderly manner. It is the only
recommended way to stop the spooler. Following the SPOOLER DRAIN
subcommand:
1. The collectors allow current jobs to finish but reject new opens with a file-
system error 66 (device downed). Each collector stops when it has no more
open jobs.
2. Each print process finishes printing any active jobs and then stops.
3. After all collectors and print processes have stopped, the supervisor stops.
4. The spooler enters the dormant state, ready to be warmstarted.
