NAME

rlpstat − print status of LP spooler requests on a remote system

SYNOPSIS

/usr/lib/rlpstat [-d printer] [-u user] [id ...]

DESCRIPTION

rlpstat reports the status of the specified jobs or all requests associated with a user.  If no arguments are specified, rlpstat reports on any requests currently in the queue. 

For each request submitted (i.e., each invocation of lp — see lp(1)) rlpstat reports the request ID, user’s name, total size of the request, date of the request, and, if it is being transferred, the device. 

This command is intended to be used only by the spool system in response to the lpstat command and should not be invoked directly (see lpstat(1M)).

Options

rlpstat recognizes the following options and command-line arguments:

-d printer Specify a particular printer.  Otherwise, the default line printer is used (or the value of the LPDEST environment variable). 

-u user Status is requested on all requests for the user who executed the rlpstat command on the specified printer (see the -d option). 

id Status is requested on the specified request IDs (as returned by lp).  All the request IDs must be for the same printer. 

DEPENDENCIES

HP Clustered Environment

In the HP Clustered Environment, all spooling is handled as if the cluster nodes were a single system and all printers attached to either the cluster server or clients can be available.  Remote spooling applies to spooling from or to machines outside of the cluster nodes. 

AUTHOR

rlpstat was developed by the University of California, Berkeley, and HP.
