The LPG daemon at default is able to process 11 jobs at a time. Under heavy load, the LPG daemon might stop because of this limitation. To avoid this, you can use the -R option for the LPR Gateway, so that it will allow an unlimited number of jobs coming in.
This is how to add the -R option:
- Login as user root.
- Stop your line printer gateway:
# stop_server lpg
- Goto your HPOS installation directory. Then switch to the etc subdirectory.
- Backup your current HostConfig.sgml file (just in case!):
# cp HostConfig.sgml HostConfig.sgml.original
- Edit the HostConfig.sgml file, and add the -R option under the -server-executable-options under your DAZEL-SERVER NAME="lpg", just like this:
<DAZEL-AVPAIR NAME="server-executable-options">
<DAZEL-VALUE STRING-VALUE="-n !{server-name}!">
<DAZEL-VALUE STRING-VALUE="-l !{server-login-name}!">
<DAZEL-VALUE STRING-VALUE="-R">
</DAZEL-AVPAIR> - Now start your line printer gateway again:
# start_server lpg
- Check your LPG server to see if the -R option is enabled:
# list_server lpg
