NAME
dnsubmit - Submit a batch job on a VMS system dnprint - Print a file on a VMS system SYNOPSIS
dnsubmit [options] file-name dnprint [options] file-name Options: [-vh] DESCRIPTION
dnprint and dnsubmit send files to a VMS machine for printing or batch execution. These command behave similarly to the VMS PRINT/REMOTE and SUBMIT/REMOTE commands in that you get very little control of the queueing mechanism. dnprint always prints to the queue SYS$PRINT and dnsubmit always submits to SYS$BATCH. Of course you can always redirect these queues using logical names. See the man page for dncopy for a discussion of VMS file specifications. OPTIONS
-T connect timeout Specifies the maximum amount of time the command will wait to establish a connection with the remote node. a 0 here will cause it to wait forever. The default is 60 seconds -h -? Displays help for using the command. -V Show the version of the tools package that the program comes from. EXAMPLES
dnsubmit 'myvax::myjob.com' dnprint 'tramp"christine pjc123"::file.lis' SEE ALSO
