gsl-mpr - print spooler or save if not running
gspl-mrpr - print spooler to remote queue or save if unavailable
gsl-mpr [ -options ] [ file ... ]
gspl-mrpr [ -options ] [ file ... ]
gsl-mpr either queues up one or more print jobs for the GNUspool
spooler using gspl-pr(1) if it is running, or else places a series of
files in an alternative spool directory, such that when run as shell
scripts when the GNUspool spooler process spshed(8)
is running, the
jobs are queued as originally specified.
gspl-mrpr queues up one or more print jobs to a remote queue running the GNUspool spooler using gspl-rpr(1) if it is available, or otherwise places a series of files in an alternative spool directory for queueing when the remote machine is available.
Options are as per gspl-pr and gspl-rpr. If the job can be queued immediately, these programs are directly invoked.
An exit code of zero is returned if the job or jobs are successfully queued using gspl-pr(1) or gspl-rpr(1) or successfully saved in the alternate directory. Any non-zero exit code from gspl-pr(1) or gspl-rpr(1) will be passed back to the user. Standard exit codes and error messages are displayed if the files cannot be opened or saved.
