Very Computer

Hello, everybody !

hw: Bull Escala 604e
      Intel Netport Prin Server
sw: AIX 4.1.5

Unfortunately, some of our print queues are breaking down from time to
time. So, Im looking for a script, which surveys all queues e.g. every
minute and which sends a simple mail to the superuser or other user.

Any help would be appreciated.

For the Netports, you can prevent the queues from ever going down with
TCPrint instead of your remote queue.  You can download it from
http://www.flash.net/~laixsoft.
Auto-enable down queues with Qman (same site).  I could also customize it
to generate e-mail when it detects a down condition.

Best regards,
Paul

Try this:
Q=The-queue-name
STATUS=`lpstat -p$Q |grep $Q |awk '{ print $3 }'`
if [ $STATUS != READY ]
        then
                echo "The printer queue has an ERROR"
        else
                echo "The printer queue is fine"
fi

This tiny script does only check the queue status
