STATUS Command
The STATUS command displays the status of all available jobs each time the state of
any of the jobs changes. A C in front of a status line means that the state of that job
has changed since the last status display.
delay
is the number of seconds to wait between each status check. The range of values
permitted for this argument is 2 through 32767. When no delay is specified,
Peruse waits 10 seconds between status checks.
Considerations
•
The jobs displayed by the STATUS command depend on your user authorization
as follows:
•
If you are a typical, unauthorized user, the STATUS command displays only
your own jobs.
•
For a group manager (user ID n,255), the STATUS command displays the
status of all jobs that belong to group members if manager access is enabled
for the spooler (through the Spoolcom SPOOLER, MGRACCESS command).
Assuming manager access is enabled for the spooler, you can enable and
disable the display of your group’s jobs by using the SHOWGROUP
Command.
•
Immediately before a changed display is given, the spooler sends a CTRL/G to the
terminal. This causes the terminal to issue an alert sound.
•
A C in a column to the far left indicates those jobs that have changed status since
the last display.
•
STATUS is a continuous display; to exit STATUS and display the Peruse prompt,
press the Break key.
