Clearing Spooler down to correct Scheduler difficulties

Under SCO Xenix the following commands will clear the spooler down to its newly installed status. They will however not function if spooler fix XNX142 has been installed. Commands are:

/usr/lib/lpshut
cd /usr/spool/lp
rm -f SCHEDLOCK
rm -f ../lpd/*
cp /dev/null pstatus
cp /dev/null qstatus
cp /dev/null default
cp /dev/null outputq
rm -rf member/* class/* request/* interface/*

Under SCO Unix a similar clearing down can be achieved by the following commands:

/usr/lib/lpshut
cd /usr /spool/lp
rm -f SCHEDLOCK
rm -f system/pstatus
rm -f default
rm -rf requests/*
cd admins/lp
rm -rf classes/* interfaces/* printers/*

Before following either of the procedures labelled above, please ensure that any modified interface scripts are backed up to a safe location. On completion of these procedures the printers should be reinstalled using the lpinit command.
