Hi Managers,

Tru64 v5.1A, patch kit 3 (T64V51AB03AS0003-20020827). ES40 / HSG80 LSM &
AdvFS.

One of our sites had a problem with printing after a reboot. The server is
scheduled to reboot at the same time each week, with no previous problems
in this area.

All printing in a queued state.
Tried to restart specific printer queues but no joy.

lpc> restart r5_cp_2
r5_cp_2:
        no daemon to abort
r5_cp_2:
lpc: connect: No such file or directory
        couldn't start daemon
lpc> quit

No lpd daemon running.
Ended up starting the lpd deamon manually.

root> /usr/sbin/rc3.d/S65lpd start

All printing sprung into life again and remained stable.
No errors in startup logs, typical message (and "NOTICE" when manually
started) from lpr.log;
Sep 14 19:48:34 rimmer lpd[59924]: ERROR -- startdaemon: connect failed to
socket /dev/printer, printer r5_cp_2, error: No suc
h file or directory
Sep 14 19:51:43 rimmer lpd[60121]: NOTICE -- lpd: MASTER DAEMON STARTED

Does anyone know what may have caused this? Or where to look for more
information?

TIA
Shaun
