LPDRM(1MDQS) COMMAND REFERENCE LPDRM(1MDQS) NAME lpdrm - queued print request removal from Berkeley LPD queue SYNOPSIS lpdrm host [ -P printer ] [ -a ] [ job# ... ] [ user ... ] DESCRIPTION The print request removal command lpdrm removes a job or jobs from a remote host's printer queue which is running the Berkeley LPD spooling system. Without any arguments, lpdrm deletes the currently active job on the remote host if it is owned by the user who invoked lpdrm. Specifying a user's name or list of user names causes lpdrm to attempt to remove any jobs queued belonging to that user (or users) which were queued by the local host. This form of invoking lpdrm is useful only to the superuser. Jobs which were not queued by the local host CANNOT be removed. A user may remove an individual job from the queue by specifying its job number; this number may be optained from lpdstat(1MDQS). The lpdrm command prints the names of any files it removes and is silent if there are no jobs in the remote printer queue which match the request list; lpdrm is called by the MDQS lprm command if the printer queue is configured to the lpd device. OPTIONS -P printer Specify the printer on the remote host from which the requests are to be removed (otherwise the default printer, or the value of the PRINTER variable in the environment is used). -a If this option is specified, lpdrm removes all jobs which a user owns. If the superuser employs this flag, the spool queue is emptied of jobs submitted by the local host. The owner is determined by the user's login name and the local host's name. If this option is used no job or user list is allowed. EXAMPLES The following commands remove all jobs from the default printer or the printer specified by the environmental variable "PRINTER" on the remote host pogo. The jobs that are removed belong to the user invoking the lpdrm command. Printed 5/12/88 1
LPDRM(1MDQS) COMMAND REFERENCE LPDRM(1MDQS) Assume you are logged into the workstation wicket and your prompt is wicket[21] If you type lpdrm pogo the following messages are returned by the system: pogo: dfA012wicket dequeued pogo: dfB013wicket dequeued pogo: cfA911wicket dequeued The following command removes a print job from the printer lp on the remote host pogo by use of an indivdual job number. The job number is obtained from the lpdstat command. At the wicket[22] prompt type lpdstat pogo -P lp the following messages are then returned by the system: lp is ready and printing Rank Owner Job Files Total Size active garyb 268 STDIN 54506 bytes If you type lpdrm pogo -P lp 268 at the wicket[23] prompt the following messages are returned by the system: pogo: dfA489wicket dequeued pogo: cfA268wicket dequeued The following commands remove all print jobs for the user garyb from the printer printer1 on the remote host devonn. Assume that the invoker is root or user garyb. At the wicket[24] prompt type lpdrm devonn -P printer1 garyb the following messages are then returned by the system: devonn: dfA512wicket dequeued devonn: dfB512wicket dequeued devonn: dfC512wicket dequeued Printed 5/12/88 2

[NP_ERR] An error occurred that was not a system error. Execution terminated. CAVEATS Remote shell (rsh) privileges are required for removing requests from remote hosts. SEE ALSO The following manual pages are available on the host which uses MDQS to spool a request using the lpdsend server: lpr(1MDQS), lprm(1MDQS), lpdstat(1MDQS), qmod(1MDQS), lpq(1MDQS), qconf(5MDQS), lpdsend(8MDQS), qdev(8MDQS), mdqsd(8MDQS), and sysadmin(8). The following manual pages might be available on the remote host running the LPD spooling system: lpr(1), lpq(1), lprm(1), printcap(5), lpc(8), and lpd(8). Printed 5/12/88 3
