7 EtherShare utility programs

7.1 restart-pap

The shell script “HELIOSDIR/sbin/restart-pap” is used internally by EtherShare to enable – via “srvutil” (see the HELIOS Base manual) – printer configuration changes to come into effect immediately, without restarting the entire HELIOS system.

7.2 rmtrash

The “rmtrash” command allows emptying a particular network trash can that is specified with the <path_to_volume> parameter.

Note:

You should be logged-in as “root” when calling “rmtrash” from the command line, and the volume should not be mounted.

“rmtrash” can also be called from HELIOS Admin, with the respective volume highlighted in the Volumes list and then choosing Empty Trash... from the Volume menu. This method is recommended.

Usage:

rmtrash [-f] <path_to_volume>

7.2.1 Option

-f

Deletes the whole “Network Trash Folder” in the volume. With -f not specified, only the files in the “Network Trash Folder” are deleted.

Example:

 

# cd /usr/local/helios 
# sbin/rmtrash /home/macuser
