The chprtsv high-level
command changes print service configuration on a client or server
machine.
To change print service for a
client, the chprtsv command does the following:
- Disables the client spool
queue with the chque and chquedev commands.
- Changes the appropriate
entries in the /etc/qconfig file
with the chque and chquedev commands.
- Enables the client spool
queue with the chque and chquedev commands.
To change print service for a
server, the chprtsv command does the following:
- Calls the ruser low-level command to change remote users
configured on the print server, if necessary.
- Calls the chque and chquedev commands to change the print queues
and entries in the qconfig file, if
necessary.
- Calls the SRC refresh command to restart the lpd and qdaemon
servers.
If you want to change the
attributes of a queue, you must specify the queue name and the attributes
associated with the queue. If you want to change the attributes of the
queue device, you must specify queue name, queue device name, and the
attributes associated with the queue device.
The changes you make with the
chprtsv -i command go into effect on the system database and on the
current active system.
If you want the changes you make
to go into effect at system startup time without affecting the current system,
use the chprtsv -d command to change only TCP/IP and its
associated network interfaces in the system database only.
| -A FileName
| Specifies the name of the file containing qconfig
command-related entries.
|
| -a
"Attribute
=Value..."
| Specifies a list of attributes with corresponding values to be used for
updating the spooler's qconfig file or object class.
The list should be enclosed in quotes. Valid attribute types
follow:
- acctfile (true/false)
- Identifies the file used to save print accounting
information. The default value of false suppresses
accounting. If the named file does not exist, no accounting is
done.
- device
- Identifies the symbolic name that refers to the device stanza.
- discipline
- Defines the queue-serving algorithm. The default, fcfs,
means first come, first served. A value of sjn means
shortest job next.
- host
- Specifies the name of the host from which to print. (The name of
this host must be the same as the name specified by the HostName
variable.)
- l_statfilter
- Translates long queue-status information from non-AIX format to AIX
format.
- s_statfilter
- Translates short queue-status information from non-AIX format to AIX
format.
- up (true/false)
- Defines the state of the queue. The default true
indicates that it is running. A value of false indicates
that it is not.
|
| -b
"Attribute
=Value..."
| Specifies a list of attributes with corresponding values for device
stanza corresponding values to be used for updating the spooler's
qconfig file or object class. The list should be enclosed in
quotes. Valid attribute types follow:
- access (write/both)
- Specifies the type of access the backend has to the file specified by the
file field. The access file has a value of
write if the backend has write access to the file, or a value of
both if the backend has both read and write access. This
field is ignored if the file field has a value of false.
- align (true/false)
- Specifies whether the backend sends a form-feed control before starting
the job if the printer has been idle. The default is
false.
- backend
- Specifies the full path name of the backend, optionally followed by the
flags and parameters to be passed to it.
- feed
- Specifies the number of separator pages to print when the device becomes
idle, or takes a value of never, which indicates that the backend
is not to print separator pages.
- file
- Identifies the special file where the output of the backend is to be
redirected. The default values of false indicates no
redirection. In this case, the backend opens the output file.
- header (never/always/group)
- Specifies whether a header page prints before each job or group of
jobs. The default is a value of never which indicates no
header page. To produce a header page before each job, specify a value
of always. To produce a header before each group of jobs for
the same user, specify a value of group.
- trailer (never/always/group)
- Specifies whether a trailer page prints after each job or group of
jobs. The default value of never indicates no trailer
page. To produce a trailer page after each job, specify a value of
always. To produce a trailer after each group of jobs for
the same user, specify a value of group.
|
| -c
| Specifies to the chprtsv command to reconfigure print service
for a client machine.
|
| -d
| Specifies that changes be reflected in the system database only, so that
they can take effect at the next system startup.
|
| -H FileName
| Specifies the name of a file containing a list of host names to be
included.
|
| -h"HostName..."
| Specifies a list of host names to be included on the current list of
remote users who can use the print server. Note that the queuing system
does not support multibyte host names.
|
| -i
| Specifies that the change be reflected not only in the database, but also
in the current running system.
|
| -q"QEntry"
| Specifies a qconfig file entry to be removed.
|
| -s
| Specifies that print service reconfiguration is to be performed for a
server machine.
|
| -v DeviceName
| Specifies a list of device stanzas to be changed.
|
| -X FileName
| Specifies the name of a file containing a list of host names to be
excluded.
|
| -x"HostName..."
| Specifies a list of host names to be excluded on the current list of
remote users who can use the print server.
|
To reconfigure a print server,
specify that the changes will take effect at the next startup, specify the
file containing the host names, and then exclude some of those hosts,
enter:
chprtsv -s -d -H ruser.inc -x "host1,host2,host3"
| /etc/qconfig
| Contains configuration information for the printer queuing system.
|
| /etc/hosts.lpd
| Specifies foreign hosts that can print on the local host.
|
The chque command, chquedev command, ruser command.
The lpd daemon, qdaemon daemon.
