NAME

papd - New AppleTalk Printer Access Protocol Server

SYNOPSIS

papd [--help] [--version] [--foreground] [--stop] [--reload]

DESCRIPTION

This program is PPR's new and unfinished AppleTalk Printer Access Protocol (PAP) server. The options are as follows:

--help: Print a short summary of the options.
--version: Print the PPR version number and revision date.
--foreground: Run as a server, but don't attempt to run in the background. Output which would ordinarily go to the log file will go to stderr instead.
--stop: Stop any previously started instance of papd which may be running as a server.
--reload: Re-examine the alias, group, and printer configuration files and unadvertise names which are no longer called for and advertise any new ones. On Linux 2.4.19 and later this will happen automatically.

FILES

This program reads the [papd] section in /etc/ppr/ppr.conf. It also reads the alias, group, and printer configuration files in /etc/ppr/aliases, /etc/ppr/groups, and /etc/ppr/printers respectively. The daemon's PID is stored in /var/spool/ppr/run/papd.pid. Its actions are logged in /var/spool/ppr/logs/papd.

HISTORY

PPR was written at Trinity College during 1993--2003. It was first released to the public on 26 April 1995.
