Full Discussion: "enable" command
Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users "enable" command Post 302078687 by dor35 on Tuesday 4th of July 2006 03:33:14 AM

Thanks for those replies.

SCO Unix does not have a sudo option. I suspect this is a Linux utility.

The enable command, along with disable, is part of the lp set used to enable and disable printers. It can be used to temporarily hold print jobs, and unlike accept/reject, still allows print jobs to be spooled.

I've tried setting the suid bit and putting the command inside another script with full execute permission, but it appears that the requirement that it is run by root is hard-coded into the executable.

Any other ideas?

enable(8)						      Easy Software Products							 enable(8)

NAME

       disable, enable - stop/start printers and classes

SYNOPSIS

       disable [ -E ] [ -c ] [ -h server ] [ -r reason ] destination(s)
       enable [ -E ] destination(s)

DESCRIPTION

       enable starts the named printers or classes.

       disable stops the named printers or classes.  The following options may be used:

       -c
	    Cancels all jobs on the named destination.

       -r [ reason ]
	    Sets the message associated with the stopped state. If no reason is specified then the message is set to "Reason Unknown".

       The -E option forces encryption when connecting to the server.

COMPATIBILITY

       The  CUPS versions of disable and enable may ask the user for an access password depending on the printing system configuration.  This dif-
       fers from the System V versions which require the root user to execute these commands.
