9 Command Line Interface
The five components
• Job Editor
• Print Job Manager
• Spsprt-To-Job Ticket Converter
• Administrator
• Status Information
• Message Information
comprise the PRISMA command line interface. With this interface, you can control and
manage ongoing job processing and obtain details on the status and results of processing
from remote computers which do not support the X Window System PRISMA UI. The com-
mand line interface is also useful for automation tasks using shell scripts.
A few special functions for spool controlling are only accessible via command line.
9.1 Job Editor
The job editor is started with the following command:
spsprt [{Option} {Parameter}] {Filename}
This command submits the specified file for printing, using the options and parameters you
enter. The following sequence of actions is triggered when you submit a print job:
• The print file is copied to the spool directory;
• A job file with the selected job parameters is generated and entered in the spool direc-
tory;
• The spool system is informed that a new print job is pending;
• A message containing the job's spool ID is issued to inform the user that the job has
been submitted successfully. This ID can be used to track the job as it is processed and
query its status.
