prtglbconfig Command

Purpose

The prtglbconfig command configures the global settings for the AIX® printing subsystem.

Syntax

prtglbconfig [ -s name = value] [ -r name ]

Description

The prtglbconfig command either sets a printing subsystem setting or resets it to a default value. Currently, this command is used to set the ERRMSGCONTROL setting. This setting affects the global printer message. This setting can be used to select one of the following options:

ALLON (All messages turned on).
LOGALL (All messages turned on, but logged to a log file).
CRITON (Only the most critical error messages turned on).
ALLOFF (All messages turned off).

Currently, the LOGALL option and the CRITON option is same as the ALLON option.
