      <p>If the job processing terminates abnormally, the following
      sequence of events occurs:</p>

      <ol type="1">
        <li>
          <p>The job is marked as having an error during
          processing.</p>
        </li>

        <li>
          <p>The <b class="APPLICATION">lpd</b> server will attempt
          to kill all filters and other associated processes by
          sending a SIGINT and SIGCONT (<tt class="COMMAND">kill
          -INT</tt> and <tt class="COMMAND">kill -CONT</tt>) to
          them.</p>
        </li>

        <li>
          <p>If there is a <tt class=
          "LITERAL">mail_operator_on_error</tt> value, the
          specified operator will be mailed an error indication.
          The <tt class="LITERAL">sendmail</tt> option specifies
          the pathname of the <i class="EMPHASIS">sendmail</i>
          program and the options needed to have it read mail
          addresses from its standard input. For example, <tt
          class="LITERAL">sendmail=/usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -t</tt>
          is a commonly used set of options.</p>
        </li>

        <li>
          <p>The <tt class="LITERAL">mail_from</tt> value specifies
          the user name used for mail origination. If not
          specified, the default is to use the print spool queue or
          printer name.</p>
        </li>

        <li>
          <p>If there is a <tt class=
          "LITERAL">send_failure_action</tt> specified, then it is
          decoded and the corresponding action taken. If the value
          is <tt class="LITERAL">remove</tt>, <tt class=
          "LITERAL">hold</tt>, <tt class="LITERAL">abort</tt>, or
          <tt class="LITERAL">retry</tt>, then the job is removed,
          held, aborted, or retried. If the value is <tt class=
          "FILENAME">|/program</tt>, the program is executed and
          the number of attempts are written to the filter <span
          class="ACRONYM">STDIN</span>. The exit status of the
          filter will be used to determine the consequent actions.
          That is, JSUCC (0) will be success, and the standard
          success action will be taken; JFAIL will cause retry,
          JREMOVE will cause the job to be removed, JHOLD will
          cause the job to be held, JABORT or other status will
          abort processing.</p>
        </li>

        <li>
          <p>If the status is ABORT and the <tt class=
          "LITERAL">stop_on_abort</tt> flag is set, then further
          processing of jobs is terminated. The job is not removed
          from the queue.</p>
        </li>

        <li>
          <p>If the error status indicates removal, the <tt class=
          "LITERAL">save_on_error</tt> flag is clear, and the <tt
          class="LITERAL">done_jobs</tt> and <tt class=
          "LITERAL">done_jobs_max_age</tt> values are zero (0),
          then the job is removed from the spool queue.</p>
        </li>

        <li>
          <p>If the error status indicates that no further
          operations should be performed on the queue, then the <b
          class="APPLICATION">lpd</b> server will stop processing
          jobs.</p>
        </li>

        <li>
          <p>If the error code indicated that the job should be
          retried, and the <tt class="LITERAL">send_try</tt> value
          is 0 or the number of attempts is less than the <tt
          class="LITERAL">send_try</tt> value, then the job is
          retried. Between each attempt to transfer a job to a
          remote site. This pause will double after each attempt,
          reaching a maximum of <tt class=
          "LITERAL">max_connect_interval</tt> seconds. If <tt
          class="LITERAL">max_connect_interval</tt> is 0, there is
          no limit on the interval value.</p>
