QSTAT(1MDQS)            COMMAND REFERENCE            QSTAT(1MDQS)



NAME
     qstat - MDQS local and remote status program

SYNOPSIS
     qstat [ -a ] [ -l ] [ -q queue ] [ -s ] [ -v ]

DESCRIPTION
     The qstat program is used to display the status of the MDQS
     queues.  The options allow for levels of verbosity and the
     ability to restrict the query to a particular queue.  Qstat
     will report if the daemon is not running.

OPTIONS
     -a List all queues and devices, including empty queues,
        remote queues, and the delayed queue.  List specified
        queue, possible associated remote queue, and possibly
        remote associated devices if used in conjunction with the
        -q option.

     -l Long format, giving request id, queue, requested forms,
        priority, byte size of job, and requested activation
        time.

     -q queue
        Only requests from the specified queue are listed.  If
        the queue is mapped to a remote queue, and the -a Option
        is also specified, the remote queue will also be
        displayed.  Only devices associated with the specified
        queue are displayed.

     -s Slow search.  Normally qstat will use some special files
        written out by the daemon to get the sorted queue
        information.  If the daemon is not running, this option
        may be used so the queue directory will be searched by
        brute force.

     -v Produces the most verbose listing.

EXAMPLES
          qstat -l

     will print all requests using the long format.

RETURN VALUE
     [NO_ERRS]      Command completed without error.

     [USAGE]        Incorrect command line syntax. Execution
                    terminated.

     [NP_WARN]      An error warranting a warning message
                    occurred. Execution continues.

     [P_ERR]        A system error occurred. Execution
                    terminated.  See intro(2) for more
                    information on system errors.

CAVEATS
     Rsh privileges are required in order to access information
     for remote queues.

     Things can change while qstat is running; the picture it
     gives is only a close approximation of reality.  For
     instance, qstat may produce false error messages if it
     cannot find a particular file or if a data structure it is
     looking at changes underneath it.
