Verifying LPD is running
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;

Code:
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;

Code:
ss077a-root>svcs -a | grep lp
offline        Jul_17   svc:/network/slp:default
ss077a-root>


Regards

Dave
