Op Ar command ... -.It Ic help Op Ar command ... -Print a short description of each command specified in the argument list, -or, if no argument is given, a list of the recognized commands. -.Pp -.It Ic abort Brq Cm all | Ar printer -Terminate an active spooling daemon on the local host immediately and -then disable printing (preventing new daemons from being started by -.Xr lpr 1 ) -for the specified printers. -.Pp -.It Ic bottomq Ar printer Op Ar jobspec ... -Take the specified jobs in the order specified and move them to the -bottom of the printer queue. -Each -.Ar jobspec -can match multiple print jobs. -The full description of a -.Ar jobspec -is given below. -.Pp -.It Ic clean Brq Cm all | Ar printer -Remove any temporary files, data files, and control files that cannot -be printed (i.e., do not form a complete printer job) -from the specified printer queue(s) on the local machine. -This command will also look for -.Pa core -files in spool directory -for each printer queue, and list any that are found. -It will not remove any -.Pa core -files. -See also the -.Ic tclean -command. -.Pp -.It Ic disable Brq Cm all | Ar printer -Turn the specified printer queues off. -This prevents new -printer jobs from being entered into the queue by -.Xr lpr 1 . -.Pp -.It Ic down Bro Cm all | Ar printer ... Brc Cm -msg Ar message ... -.It Ic down Bro Cm all | Ar printer Brc Ar message ... -Turn the specified printer queue off, disable printing and put -.Ar message -in the printer status file. -When specifying more than one printer queue, the -.Ic -msg -argument is required to separate the list of printers from the text -that will be the new status message. -The message does not need to be quoted, the -remaining arguments are treated like -.Xr echo 1 . -This is normally used to take a printer down, and let other users -find out why it is down (the -.Xr lpq 1 -utility will indicate that the printer is down and will print the -status message). -.Pp -.It Ic enable Brq Cm all | Ar printer -Enable spooling on the local queue for the listed printers. -This will allow -.Xr lpr 1 -to put new jobs in the spool queue. -.Pp -.It Ic exit -.It Ic quit -Exit from -.Nm . -.Pp -.It Ic restart Brq Cm all | Ar printer -Attempt to start a new printer daemon. -This is useful when some abnormal condition causes the daemon to -die unexpectedly, leaving jobs in the queue. -.Xr lpq 1 -will report that there is no daemon present when this condition occurs. -If the user is the super-user, -try to abort the current daemon first (i.e., kill and restart a stuck daemon). -.Pp -.It Ic setstatus Bro Cm all | Ar printer Brc Cm -msg Ar message ... -Set the status message for the specified printers. -The -.Ic -msg -argument is required to separate the list of printers from the text -that will be the new status message. -This is normally used to change the status message when the printer -queue is no longer active after printing has been disabled, and you -want to change what users will see in the output of the -.Xr lpq 1 -utility. -.Pp -.It Ic start Brq Cm all | Ar printer -Enable printing and start a spooling daemon for the listed printers. -.Pp -.It Ic status Brq Cm all | Ar printer -Display the status of daemons and queues on the local machine. -.Pp -.It Ic stop Brq Cm all | Ar printer -Stop a spooling daemon after the current job completes and disable -printing. -.Pp -.It Ic tclean Brq Cm all | Ar printer -This will do a test-run of the -.Ic clean -command. -All the same checking is done, but the command will only print out -messages saying what a similar -.Ic clean -command would do if the user typed it in. -It will not remove any files. -Note that the -.Ic clean -command is a privileged command, while the -.Ic tclean -command is not restricted. -.Pp -.It Ic topq Ar printer Op Ar jobspec ... -Take the specified jobs in the order specified and move them to the -top of the printer queue. -Each -.Ar jobspec -can match multiple print jobs. -The full description of a -.Ar jobspec -is given below. -.Pp -.It Ic up Brq Cm all | Ar printer -Enable everything and start a new printer daemon. -Undoes the effects of -.Ic down . -.El -.Pp -Commands such as -.Ic topq -and -.Ic bottomq -can take one or more -.Ar jobspec -to specify which jobs the command should operate on. -A -.Ar jobspec -can be: -.Bl -bullet -.It -a single job number, which will match all jobs in the printer's queue -which have the same job number. -Eg: -.Ar 17 , -.It -a range of job numbers, which will match all jobs with a number between -the starting and ending job numbers, inclusive. -Eg: -.Ar 21-32 , -.It -a specific userid, which will match all jobs which were sent by that -user. -Eg: -.Ar jones , -.It -a host name, when prefixed by an `@', which will match all jobs in -the queue which were sent from the given host. -Eg: -.Ar @freebsd.org , -.It -a job range and a userid, separated by a `:', which will match all jobs -which both match the job range and were sent by the specified user. -Eg: -.Ar jones:17 -or -.Ar 21-32:jones , -.It -a job range and/or a userid, followed by a host name, which will match -all jobs which match all the specified criteria. -Eg: -.Ar jones@freebsd.org -or -.Ar 21-32@freebsd.org -or -.Ar jones:17@freebsd.org . -.El -.Pp -The values for userid and host name can also include pattern-matching -characters, similar to the pattern matching done for filenames in -most command shells. -Note that if you enter a -.Ic topq -or -.Ic bottomq -command as parameters on the initial -.Nm -command, then the shell will expand any pattern-matching characters -that it can (based on what files in finds in the current directory) -before -.Nm -processes the command. -In that case, any parameters which include pattern-matching characters -should be enclosed in quotes, so that the shell will not try to -expand them. -.Sh FILES -.Bl -tag -width
