The Extended SPooler (ESP), on the other hand, does store the job number along with all of the print characteristics (SP.ASSIGN/SETPTR) information where it is readily available for purposes such as this.

If I recall (please correct me Dave), the usplog file gets re-written each time it is changed. So if the UVSPOOL directory is shared, wouldn't the fall back UV read it and be the same as the crashed UV? What I wonder about is what happens if someone starts *both* UV's at the same time. What kind of contention problems would having UVSPOOL on a shared filesystem cause?

If by "spooler count", you are referring to the job ID, that isn't actually
kept anywhere.


When the spooler starts up, it reads in the usplog file, located in the
spooler directory, to restore the last state. It takes the highest numbered
job ID from those still stored there and makes the current number jobID+1.


From there, it is only kept internal to the running spooler daemon.

Subject: [U2] [UV] Spooler count location

I'm configuring a couple of RedHat servers with UV 10.1 in a failover
setup.  I'm going to put the UV spooler directory on shared storage so
it's available to both machines, but I also need the file that keeps
track of the current spooler count to be shared.  I looked in the
spool/uv directory but can't find the counter there.  I'm assuming it's
somewhere in the `cat ./uvhome` directory.  Anyone know where?

Thanks,
John
