The AS/X databases are open while Advanced Server for UNIX is running. In order to
ensure that all configuration files are consistent, you must stop Advanced Server for UNIX
with the net stop server command before carrying out a data backup.

6.4 Processing the printer queue
The section explains the spoolers for which you can process the printer queue with restric-
tions.
6.4.1 SPOOL 4.x or Xprint
6.4.1.1 Stopping and restarting printer queues
You can stop a printer queue for Advanced Server for UNIX using the command
net print /hold. This sets all Advanced Server for UNIX print jobs to the status SUSPEND,
including jobs which have been newly spooled via Advanced Server for UNIX. Print jobs
spooled via xpadd are not affected.
The stopped printer queue is restarted using net print <printer queue> /release.

Product Manual
There are also hidden files and special files in the directories below /var/opt/lanman.
To back up the complete tree use e.g. the cpio command. Do not use the cp
command - it will hang on special files.
By default, Advanced Server for UNIX printer jobs have the sender root. This can
be viewed by entering the xpshow command.
You can also configure Advanced Server for UNIX for spooling under the user ID of
the AS/X user (see the SpoolinAsUnixUser registry parameter in the section
"Parameters Entries").
