Monitoring Spooler Processes

You might routinely need to monitor the status of the spooler supervisor, collector, or
print processes.

Monitoring the Spool Supervisor

To monitor your spooler supervisor, enter:
> SPOOLCOM
If you do not specify a supervisor name, Spoolcom assumes the supervisor is $SPLS.
If this produces the standard startup banner:
SPOOLCOM - T9101D20 - (08JUN93)
the supervisor is running.
If this error message is added:
SPOOLCOM - T9101D20 - (08JUN93)
OPEN $supervisor-name
^
SPOOLER OPEN ERROR 14
the supervisor is not running. See

Monitoring Spooler Collector Processes

Do not let the collector processes in your spooler subsystem become more than about 90
percent full. To check the status of your spooler collector processes, enter:
> SPOOLCOM COLLECT
A listing such as this is sent to your home terminal:
COLLECT STATE
$S ACTIVE
$S1 ACTIVE
$S2 ACTIVE
This example shows that the three collector processes, $S, $S1, and $S2, are active and
none is approaching a full state. If the %FULL column shows any collector process
approaching 90 percent capacity, you should delete jobs from the collector in question.
