chreq -- Command Change priority, lifetime, or printer for a job chreq [-dprinter] [-llifetime] [-ppriority] job The command chreq lets you change the printer, lifetime, and priority of a job, which identifies a print job spooled with the command lp. It recognizes the following options: -dprinter Move job to the queue for printer. -llifetime Change the lifetime of job, where lifetime is one of T (temporary), S (short-term), or L (long-term). Temporary lifetime means that a job ``survives'' in the spool directory for two hours after being spooled; short-term means that it survives 48 hours; and long-term that it survives for 72 hours. After a job's lifetime has expired, the print daemon lpsched removes it. -ppriority Change the despooling priority of job to priority, which is one of 0 (highest priority) to 9 (lowest priority). Jobs with high priority are printed before those with low priority. The default priority is 2. See Also commands, lp, MLP_PRIORITY, printer Notes You can reset the default priority for print jobs by setting the environmental variable MLP_PRIORITY. chreq is available only under COHERENT release 4.2 and subsequent releases.
