.th PRSTOP I 1978 .sh NAME prstop, restart, repeat \*- line printer control .sh SYNOPSIS .bd prstop [-n] .br .bd restart [-n] .br .bd repeat [-n] .sh DESCRIPTION These three commands control .it lpd (the LinePrinter Daemon). .it Lpd is the program that actually prints what .it lpr has spooled. The optional -n (where n is a single digit) selects which .it lpd is to be controlled. If no -n is supplied then the main lineprinter's .it lpd is controlled. .s3 These commands will only work if the listing currently being output on the selected printer is owned by the user invoking them. .s3 .it Prstop will cancel the current output on the selected printer. An appropriate message will appear on the output. .s3 .it Restart will cancel the current listing and restart the entire listing from the beginning complete with banner page. .s3 .it Repeat will cause the listing on the printer to be repeated from the beginning after the present copy on the printer has completed. .sh "SEE ALSO" lpr (I) .sh DIAGNOSTICS .ta 19 Done: when command has been successful .br Bad arg: when invalid printer specified .br No permission: user does not own job currently printing .br Printer inactive: no output on specified printer .sh BUGS Care should be taken that the listing in question does not complete before .it prstop aborts it. .it Prstop aborts the listing currently .ul on the printer and so pressing stop is a good idea.
