Accounting Information Format
The formatting of the information sent to each file is done by the UNIX
Host Software. This allows you to customize the output. The status-
-o Turns off accounting and reverse channel by setting qef
back to “original” mode. Jobs executed by qef in original
mode do have their status or reverse channel information
written to the job and log files. (The non-accounting qef
status messages (such as Job transmission
completed and Spooler terminated
communication continue to be written to the regular [non-
accounting] status and log files.)
If both accounting and reverse channel are disabled during
an addprt session, this option is set.
-p
port# Allows you to select a port number (other than a default of
35) for communication between the CrownNet interface
utilities and the CrownNet interface.
-r Causes the “time” field for each status reply to be displayed
in a real-time (time of day) format. The real-time value is
obtained from the host.
If -r is omitted, the time field is displayed as a “delta” time
(the elapsed number of seconds, minutes, hours from the
beginning of the job up to the time of the current status
reply). The delta time format is probably more useful in
determining total printing time for a given job.
s
statfile Indicates the status file to be generated. This file contains
only one line of information and is overwritten by each status
change in a job. The main purpose of this file is to allow
users to display printer status using the UNIX lpq utility.
-v Indicates that verbose mode is to be used. Without this flag,
only the last accounting status entry is placed in both the job
and log files. (This is used to limit the size of these files while
still reporting necessary information regarding accounting.)
If this flag is supplied, status information that is different from
the previous status information is stored in the job and log
files.
