task spooler 0.5.4 (Default branch)
Imagetask spooler is a Unix batch system where thetasks spooled run one after the other. Each userin each system has his own job queue. The tasksare run in the correct context (that of enqueue)from any shell/process, and its output/results canbe easily watched. It is very useful when you knowthat your commands depend on a lot of RAM, a lotof disk use, give a lot of output, or for whateverreason it's better not to run them at the same time.License: GNU General Public License (GPL)Changes:
several bugs related to -t, -w, -c, -r, and otheroptions were fixed. The behavior of -c (cat) waschanged so that it waits until the job isfinished.Image

NAME

       foomatic-printjob - manage printer jobs in a spooler-independent fashion

SYNOPSIS

       foomatic-printjob [ -s spooler ] [ -P queuename ] [ -o option1=value1 -o option2 ... ] [ -i ] [ file1 file2 ... ]

       foomatic-printjob -Q [ -s spooler ] [ -P queuename ] [ -i ] [ -a ] [ user1 user2 ... ]

       foomatic-printjob -R [ -s spooler ] [ -P queuename ] [ -i ] [ - | jobid1 jobid2 ... ]

       foomatic-printjob -C [ -s spooler ] [ -i ] command [ arguments ]

       foomatic-printjob -S [ -s spooler ] [ -i ]

       foomatic-printjob -h [ -s spooler ] [ -P queuename ] [ -i ]

DESCRIPTION

       foomatic-printjob  provides  a  spooler-independent  interface to creating and managing printer jobs and print queues.  Note that the first
       argument changes the mode of the command, as it combines the functionality of several System V-style printing commands.

   OPTIONS
       -sspooler Explicit spooler type.

       -Pqueuename
		 Any commands specified should apply to this queue instead of the default.

       -ooption=value
		 Set option to value

       -ooption  Set the switch option

       -#n	 Print n copies

       file1  file2  ...
		 Files to be printed, when no file is given, standard input will be printed

       -Q	 Query the jobs in a queue.  If a list of users is specified, only those users' jobs will be queried.

       -Q -a	 Query the jobs in all queues.	If a list of users is specified, only those users' jobs will be queried.

       -R [ - | jobid1 jobid2 ... ]
		 Remove a job from a queue.  Using - will remove all jobs.

       -C command [ arguments ]
		 Execute control commands for queue/job manipulation.  The commands are the ones of the BSD "lpc" utility. Use the control command
		 "help"  to  get  a  list of supported commands. Note: the amount of commands varies with the spooler, but the same commands given
		 under different spoolers do the same thing.

       -i	 Interactive mode: You will be asked if foomatic-printjob is in doubt about  something.  Otherwise  foomatic-printjob  uses  auto-
		 detection or quits with an error.

       -S	 Save the chosen spooler as the default spooler

       -h	 Show this message or show a list of available options if a queue is specified
