Cancel printjobs on remote queues
Since login is restricted on the central Workstations, you
can use the rq command to cancel your jobs on the
queues or bring queues up if they are down.
The syntax of the command is:
rq [-P queuename] {-U queuename | -x jobno | -X} where:
- -P queuename
- is the optional name of the queue.
If omitted, it will be set to LPDEST, if defined. If
LPDEST is not defined, it will be set to PRINTER, if defined.
If PRINTER is not defined too, it will be set to prps, or in
case of -U option to the queuename.
- -U queuename
- is the name of the queue to bring Up.
- -x jobno
- is the jobnumber to be cancelled.
- -X
- will cancel all of your printjobs in the queue.
Note:
- Only one of -U / -x / -X can be specified.
- You must have a vaild NIS userid.
