Options

-d daemon

Specifies the daemon to stop. If you omit this option, all active daemons are stopped, including the Printer Inventory Manager daemons (aopd, aophinvd, aoplogd, and aopsdbd). You can specify one of these values:

ippd

Stops the Internet Printing Protocol daemon, aopippdxp.

lpd

Stops the line printer daemon, aoplpd.

netd

Stops the NetSpool daemon, aopnetd.

outd

Stops the IP PrintWay™ extended mode daemons, aopoutd and aopwsmd. When you start IP PrintWay again, any IP PrintWay printers that were stopped return to the started state, and any printers that were redirected to other printers are no longer redirected.

snmpd

Stops the SNMP subagent daemon, aopsnmpd.

ssid

Stops the Infoprint Central daemon, aopssid.

subd

Stops the Print Interface subsystem daemon, aopsubd.

xfd

Stops the Transform Manager daemon, aopxfd.

now

Stops the daemons immediately. If work is in progress, incorrect output or data loss might result. If this option is not specified, the daemons stop after current activity completes.

force

Stops the daemons immediately using a “destructive” shutdown. If work is in progress, incorrect output or data loss might result. For daemons that manage a database, such as aopd, aophinvd, or aopsdbd, the database might be corrupted. If this option is not specified, the daemons stop after current activity completes.

Notes:

1. Use this option with extreme caution.
2. Before you use this option, use the Printer Inventory Definition Utility (PIDU) export command to backup the Printer Inventory if Infoprint Server is running.
3. After you stop daemons using this option, specify the AOPVALIDATEDB environment variable to validate internal databases when you start Infoprint Server daemons again. You can specify AOPVALIDATEDB=1 either in the aopstart EXEC or in the environment. If databases are corrupted, you might need to restore the Printer Inventory and the search databases.
