Restarting the Spooler

Individual jBASE despooler processes can be restarted by either using the SP-RESUME command directly, or from the SP-JOBS menu. For example:

SP-RESUME STANDARD

Alternatively, all defined formqueue despooler processes can be started at once by using the :REST-SPOOLER command. For example:

:REST-SPOOLER

Unix

If the restart of despooler processes is required at system boot time, a script (for example, jSpoolInit) should be created to restart the required formqueue despoolers. Place the script in the /etc/init.d (or similar) directory and then set a link in the /etc/rc2.d (or similar) directory back to the script in the /etc/init.d directory. The script should use multiple invocations of SP-RESUME to restart selected formqueue despoolers or alternatively, it can use the REST-SPOOLER command to resume all defined printer queues.

Example

jSpoolInit

JBCRELEASEDIR=/usr/jbc
export JBCRELEASEDIR
PATH=/etc:/bin:/usr/bin:$JBCRELEASEDIR/bin
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$JBCRELEASEDIR/lib
#AIX use LIBPATH
#HPUX use SHLIB_PATH
export PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH
case "$1" in
"start")
echo "Starting jBASE despoolers"
SP-RESUME STANDARD or :REST-SPOOLER
;;
"stop") ;;
esac

Windows

To restart the spooler at boot time then create a Windows Scheduled Task.
