Apologies in advance, I'm usually a Linux admin so I'm not well versed in Solaris administration.
In Linux there's usually an lpd executable running and you can check the process list for it to do a high level check on the state of the printing subsystem. Is the executable called the same in Solaris 9? I did a "lpstat -r" and it says the "scheduler" is running but I can't find an lpd executable running.
Any help you can give would be much appreciated.
Hi,
Just probably as easy to go with;
ss077a-root> ps -ef | grep lp
root 843 1 0 Jul 17 ? 0:02 /usr/lib/lp/local/lpsched
root 855 843 0 Jul 17 ? 0:00 /usr/lib/lp/local/lpsched
appsfnip 860 855 0 Jul 17 ? 0:00 sh /etc/lp/interfaces/py2p0013 py2p0013-6481 appsfnip REPRINT.4314752 1 /var/s
appsfnip 971 970 0 Jul 17 ? 0:00 sh /etc/lp/interfaces/py2p0013 py2p0013-6481 appsfnip REPRINT.4314752 1 /var/s
appsfnip 973 972 0 Jul 17 ? 0:00 /usr/bin/sh /etc/lp/interfaces/model.orig/py2p0013 py2p0013-6481 appsfnip REPRI
appsfnip 970 860 0 Jul 17 ? 0:00 /usr/spool/lp/bin/lp.tell py2p0013
root 10895 27109 0 14:36:43 pts/3 0:00 grep lp
OR you could;
ss077a-root>svcs -a | grep lp
offline Jul_17 svc:/network/slp:default
ss077a-root>
Regards
Dave
