AIX

Hi everyone,

I have a problem with lpsched on an AIX 5.1 machine.

the lpsched process is terminating as soon as it starts, if i do the command:

/usr/lib/lp/lpsched

I get the output:
UX:lpsched: INFO: Print services started.

However if i look in the /var/lp/logs/lpsched log file i can see that the process is terminated as soon as its starts:

# cat lpsched
Mon Feb 6 12:19:32 2006: UX:lpsched: INFO: Print services started.
Mon Feb 6 12:19:32 2006: UX:lpsched: INFO: The network process has terminated.
Mon Feb 6 12:19:32 2006: UX:lpsched: INFO: The network process has terminated.
Mon Feb 6 12:19:32 2006: UX:lpsched: INFO: Print services stopped.

if i look in the lpNet log file i see the following information:
# cat lpNet
02/06/06 12:19 p 10395728 <none> Starting.
02/06/06 12:19 p 10395728 <none> Starting lpNetParent.
02/06/06 12:19 p 10395728 <none> ERROR: class=Fatal, type=Unix, trace=(lpNetParent/MountPipe), Address already in use
02/06/06 12:19 p 10395728 <none> Abnormal process termination.


Does anyone know of any debugging flags that can be turned on to give me more information about the error? The "Address already in use" error suggests that there is some IP address problem but i am not sure how to locate it.

Any help appreciated!

Don't use lpsched, AIX doen't use a native SysV printing system but only emulates it. Use "qadm" instead.
