A new command called `status' has been installed. I hope that most users
will find it useful. It reports the current status of any submitted print
jobs. If a job is awaiting execution it is reported as such (if you then
want to find out how many jobs are ahead of it, use the command `batchq').
A job may also be reported as currently executing, waiting to print on a
particular printer, or currently printing. If a job is reported as waiting
to print on, say, `lpr', then you may use the command `lpq' to find out
how many jobs are ahead of it.
Once you have submitted a file for printing, and have your prompt back,
you can type:
status
to tell you what is currently happening to it. If the job has finished
printing, nothing will be reported. (Status reports on *all* outstanding
print jobs submitted from your account.)
