The syntax of this command is:

NET PAUSE {service | PRINT[=printname]}

This command suspends services or printers at a server.

COMMENTS

Pausing provides administrators with a way of suspending
network services and printers.

Pausing affects the network services in the following ways:

   - Pausing the Netlogon service prevents the server from
     processing logon requests at that server.  If the
     domain has other logon servers, users can still log on
     to the network.

   - Pausing the Netrun service prevents users from running
     a program at that server.  Programs currently running on
     the server are not affected.

   - Pausing the Server service prevents users from making
     new connections to the server's shared resources and,
     if there are no other logon servers on the network,
     from logging on to the network.  An existing connection
     is unaffected.  Administrators can make connections to
     the server even if it is paused.

Pausing a printer makes that device unavailable to local
area network users.  Jobs already in the queue remain there,
and they will print when the printer is continued.

If a job is printing, and the printer is paused, the job
stops printing and moves to the first position in the queue.
When the printer is continued, this job prints first.

EXAMPLES

At a UNIX system console, to pause all the shared printers
at a server, type the following:

    net pause print

To pause only the printer named hplaser, type the following:

    net pause print=hplaser

To continue the hplaser printer, which was paused, type the
following:

    net continue print=hplaser

To pause the Server service (thus preventing users from
making new connections to the server's shared resources),
type the following:

    net pause server

To run the same command remotely (on server "market_asu"), type
the following (replacing "password" with the password for
"administrator":

    net admin \\market_asu password /command net pause server
