cups-browsed(8) cups-browsed(8) NAME cups-browsed - A daemon for browsing the Bonjour broadcasts of shared, remote CUPS printers SYNOPSIS cups-browsed [-v | -d | --debug] [-c config-file] [-o option=value] [-o 'config file line'] ... [--autoshutdown=mode] [--autoshutdown-timeout=timeout] [-h | --help | --version] DESCRIPTION cups-browsed has two independently switchable functions: 1. Browse DNS-SD broadcasts of remote printers and create/remove local CUPS queues pointing to these printers. 2. Find shared printers on given CUPS servers and create local CUPS queues pointing to them. cups-browsed can be run permanently (from system boot to shutdown) or on-demand (for example to save resources on mobile devices). For run- ning it on-demand an auto-shutdown feature can be activated to let cups-browsed terminate when it does not have queues any more to take care of. OPTIONS -v, -d, --debug Debug mode, verbose logging to stderr -l, --logfile Debug logging into /var/log/cups/cups-browsed_log file. -c config-file Uses the alternative configuration file config-file instead of the standard one. -o option=value, -o 'config file line' Supply configuration options via the command line. You can sup- ply any line which also could be put into the configuration file, but note that due to the spaces the line has to be put into quotes, or for a simple key/value pair the space between key and value can get replaced by '='. If command-line-supplied configuration settings are contradicting with the ones in the configuration file, the ones in the configuration file will get used. --autoshutdown=mode Auto shutdown mode, mode is off for no auto shutdown, on for auto shutdown being active, and avahi for control by the avahi- daemon being run on-demand, getting auto-shutdown turned off while avahi-daemon is present and on when avahi-daemon is shut down. --autoshutdown-on=inactivity-type What cups-browsed considers as inactivity for auto-shutdown. in- activity-type set to no-queues (the default) means that auto- shutdown is initiated if there are no queues generated by cups- browsed any more, no-jobs means that auto-shutdown will get ini- tiated if all queues generated by cups-browsed are without jobs. --autoshutdown-timeout=timeout timeout tells after how many seconds cups-browsed should shut down if it has no local queues set up for any discovered remote printer any more or jobs on these. Default is 30 seconds. 0 means immediate shutdown. -h, --help, --version Display usage and version info and do not start the daemon. FILES /usr/local/etc/cups/cups-browsed.conf SIGNALS SIGINT, SIGTERM: cups-browsed will shutdown. SIGUSR1: Switches cups-browsed into permanent mode (no auto shutdown). SIGUSR2: Switches cups-browsed into auto shutdown mode. NOTES This manual page was written for the Debian Project, but it may be used by others.
