Technical data

The job you are modifying does not lose its position in the queue; however, a
resource check of the entire job or document attributes takes place again if
you resubmit the print job.
The pdmod command has the following syntax:
pdmod [-g] [-m message_text] [-n copies] [-N notification_method]
[-r requested_attributes] [-s style_name] [-t job_name] [-x
extended_attribute_string
...
] [-X attribute_filename
...
][server_name: ]
job_id [ .doc_int]
The following examples show how to use the pdmod command:
• To change the copy count to 4 for the job with an ID of 10 on spooler1:
# pdmod -n 4 spooler1:10
• To change the job retention period to one hour for job 32704 on the
default spooler:
# pdmod -x "job-retention-period=1:00:00" 32704
• To change the default media for the third document of job 12987 on the
default spooler:
# pdmod -x "default-medium=a" 12987.3
7.1.6 Removing a Job
You can use the pdrm command to remove or cancel a job that was submitted
for printing. If the job is currently printing, the spooler forwards the
operation to the supervisor and printing is stopped as soon as possible.
The print job is retained, if you specify the -r retention_period option
in the command line, or if the job-retention-period attribute has a
nonzero value. Retained jobs can be resubmitted for printing later.
The pdrm command ihas the following syntax:
pdrm [-m message_text] [-r retention_period][-x extended_at-
tribute_string
...][-Xattribute_filename...][server_name: ] job_id...
The following examples show how to use the pdrm command:
• To remove job 2127 from the default spooler:
# pdrm 2127
• To remove and retain job 2002 for one hour before deleting it from the
spooler named ginger.
# pdrm -r 1:00:00 ginger:2002
