Operation The NWPD program must connect to the local netware server or it will terminate. There must be a valid /SYS/NETWARE/.NWPDRC file. The NWPD program will loop until the local netware server becomes unavailable or until the .NWPDRC file becomes unreadable. If the .NWPDRC file has been modified then the NWPD program will read and process the new version of the file. The main task of the NWPD program is to search for spoolfiles to route via an nwprint command to a network printer. In the main loop the program will do the following for each query entry: a) search for spoolfiles that meet the SELEQ parameters b) if there are any such spoolfiles the program will then format an nwprint command for each spoolfile, execute that command, and purge the spoolfile if the spoolfile is marked to be purged after printer. After processing all the queue entries the NWPD program will delay the specified number of seconds and then process the main loop again. NWPD will report errors to $STDLIST and to /SYS/NETWARE/LOGNWPD. If the spoolfile has multiple copies specified then NWPD will pass that value to the NWPRINT command. The nwprint control file may override that parameter. The nwprint control file will be necessary if you wish to route spoolfiles to remote print servers. In that case a password may be required in the control file and you should ensure the security of the nwprint control file. You may either stream the JNWPD.NETWARE.SYS file or you may use your own technique to execute the nwpd.netware.sys.
