Using the NetBatch Product
specify one or more user names, only jobs belonging to those users are displayed. If
you do not specify any user names, a list of all jobs submitted is displayed.
The atq command allows you to sort the output in chronological order based on the
time that the at command was issued. You can also specify which queue you want to
have printed.
For more information about the atq command, see the atq(1) reference page either
online or in the Open System Services Shell and Utilities Reference Manual.
The atrm Command
The atrm command removes jobs queued by the at command. If you specify job
numbers, atrm attempts to remove only those jobs. If you specify user names, atrm
removes all jobs belonging to those users.
For more information about the atrm command, see the atrm(1) reference page
either online or in the Open System Services Shell and Utilities Reference Manual.
The batch Command
The batch command runs commands at a system-determined later time and when the
system workload level permits. The batch command is equivalent to the following at
command:
at -q b now
where queue b is an at queue for batch jobs.
For more information about the batch command, see the batch(1) reference page
either online or in the Open System Services Shell and Utilities Reference Manual.
Using the NetBatch Product
To use the NetBatch or NetBatch Plus product to schedule programs successfully, you
need to know:
•
OSS programs that use the OSS file system can open local terminal windows and
local disk files when started using this method. Remote devices, processes such
as the spooler, and terminals cannot be opened unless OSSTTY is also used.
OSSTTY can be used to redirect one or more OSS standard files to Guardian
EDIT files or Guardian processes. See the osh(1) reference page either online or
in the Open System Services Shell and Utilities Reference Manual for more
information about starting OSSTTY with the OSH command and OSSTTY on
page C-1 for more information about starting OSSTTY as a server.
•
To the NetBatch product, the TACL OSH command is an executor program.
•
Information generated by any periodic task should be appended to output files, so
that each execution of the task does not overwrite output from the prior execution.
