PaperCut NG provides a detailed set of server commands and Web Services API's. These services may be used to automate common operations and management tasks. Some examples of where an administrator may choose to use scripting/automation include:
Automate tasks such as backups and domain user/group synchronization.
Integrate account creation and management into existing scripts or processes.
Manage account balances and transactions outside the application.
The automation and scripting tools are written for software and script developers. It is expected that readers intending on using these tools are comfortable with developing system management and server monitoring programs.
The server-command
and Web Services API's are included as standard with
PaperCut NG. More information on using these tools is detailed in
Appendix A, Tools - database, server-command scripting, and APIs (Advanced) in
the section called “Server Commands (server-command)” and the section called “The XML Web Services API”.
