hi naomi,
i don't know if you are in touch with mike jacknis about this or not.
i'll be happy to forward him a copy of this message if not.
recently consultants have been allowed to remove print jobs and clear
queues if necessary for cluster athena printers. i am using the following
csh alias to notify users who have active jobs in the queue if i need to
do something to the queue. i believe a few other consultants are using
this alias as well:
alias zpq zwrite -n \`lpq -P\!:1 \| awk \'\{print \$2\;}\' \| tail +3\`
usage is "zpq printername". it should do what mike wants in a pretty
straightforward way. the only thing "wrong" with it is that people with
multiple jobs in the queue get multiple copies of the zephyr message, one
per job.
oliver
