131.0. "SHOW QUEUE/ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING" by RDGE43::PERKINS (Nicola Perkins) Tue Mar 29 1988 16:06

    Please, is there any way we can access the Show Queue facility
    which displays on the terminal in the print room. Its annoying
    to do a SHOW QUEUE/ALL on the LN03 and be presented with what
    appears to be an empty queue, only to go down to the print room
    to find that there are about 100 jobs each containing 10000000
    blocks (OK - I exaggerate) ahead of yours.
    
    I know the walk probably does me good....

131.1Queue...what queue??ELBOW::DRAPERSteve DraperTue Mar 29 1988 19:2015
    Don't really see what good it would do you, Nicola. It shows *all*
    the queue entries because it is coupled to the ADG cluster which
    is where the *real* LN03 queue is. You see an empty queue on
    RDGE43/CHEST because what you're looking at is a DQS queue. As soon
    as you submit a job to a DQS queue, it will be sent to it's target
    system (i.e. ADG) where it will join the merry throng patiently
    waiting it's turn to print. Meanwhile, all you look at is the DQS
    queue on FUTURS which is *almost* guaranteed to be empty 99% of
    the time.
    
    To see what the LN03 is *REALLY* doing, you need to SET HOST (or
    CONNECT from the LAT) to the ADG cluster and look at the queue from
    there. Get it??

	Not quite, DQS is a little smarter than that, what you need to do from 
        say RDGE43/CHEST is ;
        
        $ qshow/all ln03$q2
        
        This *will* display absolutely everything for that que.

    Oh!! See what you mean. Sorry, I wasn't aware of "qshow" - I was
    thinking in terms of $show queue etc

    Or do a QSHOW LN03$Q
    
    Also check out the other DQS commands like QDEL if you don't want
    to wait on the 1000000 block file that is printing.
