I am totally new to HPUX. Though I won't ask you to teach me abt SAM, can I send a personal message for quick answers?

I cant do much more for I have not queue issue (all are empty) if you wish us to help you through command line to get rid of the jobs you will have to send different output (correct hard copy) of command such as the lpstat you used so we can figure out the best way for you to try... Don't forget to use code tags...


PM are against the rules (for technical questions) for the forum is for the good of all...
about SAM, are you in front of a graphical interface?

Very nice of you to ask anyone at all, most don't bother. Generally not a good idea, often a rules violation, and usually slower, not faster anyway...

Ok abt the PMs.
Yes, I am in front of a GUI.
This is the output:
Code:
# lpstat -oLBNDUIP061 | grep -i Sep
LBNDUIP061-9670     jdeb7333       priority 0  Sep  1 09:22 from nlnwgu03
LBNDUIP061-9671     jdeb7333       priority 0  Sep  1 09:22 from nlnwgu03
LBNDUIP061-9672     jdeb7333       priority 0  Sep  1 09:23 from nlnwgu03
LBNDUIP061-9673     jdeb7333       priority 0  Sep  1 09:24 from nlnwgu03
LBNDUIP061-9674     jdeb7333       priority 0  Sep  1 09:27 from nlnwgu03
LBNDUIP061-9676     jdeb7333       priority 0  Sep  1 09:27 from nlnwgu03
LBNDUIP061-358      jdeb7333       priority 0  Sep  1 15:09 from nlnwgu03
LBNDUIP061-361      jdeb7333       priority 0  Sep  1 15:11 from nlnwgu03

Are all the request you want to remove from the same user? And hopefully not the same for the one you would like to keep?

There are in total 10 queues. All these have few jobs except one. The queue LBNDUIP061-8487 has hundreds of jobs. I have to keep the recent week's jobs of this queue and cancel rest. Can I using SAM?

I dont know if these work can you try?
Code:
cancel $(lpstat -oLBNDUIP061 | grep -i Sep | awk '{print $1}' )
# else
lpstat -oLBNDUIP061 | grep -i Sep | awk '{print $1}' | cancel -

If not we are for a loop...
