Setting up a hotfolder to shut down the Scalable RIP

This page applies to Harlequin v13.1r0 and later; and to Harlequin Core but not Harlequin MultiRIP

When running with hotfolder input enabled, it is useful to set up a second input folder to be able to quit the RIP cleanly. Add the following page feature as SW/Page Features/Quit:

                          %!
                          /HqnConfigProvider /ProcSet findresource /quitrip get exec

Then start the RIP with two hotfolders, one for jobs, one for quit PS jobs only:

                          mkdir input quit output
                          C:\apps\HHR_SDK_dev> bin\clrip -m 4096 -C -c MyFarmConfig -nrips 4
                          -f output\%j-%p.tiff -H input -F Quit -H quit

Jobs dropped into the input directory will process normally using config MyFarmConfig . Any file (even zero-length) dropped into the quit directory will cause the Scalable RIP to shut down cleanly.
