HP-UX EXTENSIONS

DESCRIPTION

Any arguments that are not options are assumed to be request ids (as returned by

lp) or LP destinations.

lpstat prints the status of requests corresponding to such request ids or the status of requests belong-

ing to such destinations. options can appear in any order and can be repeated and intermixed with other

arguments.

-i Inhibit the reporting of remote status.

-o[ list ] Also see the

-i option.

-t Print all status information. Same as specifying

-r, -s, -a, -p, -o. See the

-i

option.

Security Restriction

Only users who have the

lp subsystem authorization or the

printqueue secondary subsystem author-

ization can view the entire queue. Unauthorized users can view only their own jobs whose sensitivity lev-

els are dominated by the user’s current sensitivity level.

The

allowmacaccess privilege allows viewing jobs at higher sensitivity levels.

EXAMPLES

Check whether your job is queued:

lpstat

Check the relative position of a queued job:

lpstat -t

Verify that the job scheduler is running:

lpstat -r
