Note:
See the supplied RTELPD man page for a complete list and description of the
RTELPD options.
Figure 7-17: Installing the RTELPD Daemon Process
2
Start the RTELPD daemon process.
3
Issue the command /usr/spool/rtel/rtelpd -s from a shell prompt.
4
Check the RTEL setup by sending data into the named pipe and seeing if it appears at the printer.
Figure 7-18: Checking RTEL Setup
Obviously, if the printer is a PostScript printer, a PostScript job should be sent to the pipe. Remember
to add the
/usr/spool/rtel/rtelpd -s
command to the host startup files so that the RTELPD
daemon will be started automatically each time the system boots.
5
Once the RTELPD daemon is running, configure a UNIX print queue using the named pipe as its out-
put device. This allows all the normal option processing associated with host-supplied or third-party
backend programs.
# cd /usr/spool/rtel
# ./mkpipe
Installing a pipe device requires root privileges.
Do you want to continue the installation [yes]
This install script will create a named pipe as the interface to
the RTEL software. This pipe will be used as the output device for
your printing system.
Note that the full directory path must be specified for the pipe
name, i.e. /dev/rtelp1.
Please enter a pipe name: /dev/rtp1
Created pipe /dev/rtp1 with root ownership and world read/write
privileges. If this is not appropriate for your application,
please change these characteristics.
In order to establish RTEL connections, an IP address and a host
name must be assigned to the terminal server.
Please enter the server’s host name []: ps3
A connection on the server can be specified by either a port num-
ber or a service name. A port number is simpler, but a service
allows more flexibility.
Would you like to specify a (p)ort number or a (s)ervice name [p]:
p
Please enter the port number []: 2
By default, a password is not needed to connect to a service or a
port. (Note that the word null actually means no password.)
Please enter the password [null]:
