Does anyone know the unix command for killing a print job(ftp)? I have a report hung up and it is prevernting my historical data from showing the right call volumes.

If it is System V unix then the command is:
cancel job-id
where job-id is the job number returned when you initially submitted the print request.

If it is a BSD flavor of unix the command is:
lprm job-id

You put ftp in parenthesis - printing does not utilize ftp. Do you have a shell script that sends a file via ftp to another site and then issues a remote command to print the file?

I found it thatnks it was Kill -9 (job Number)

Thanks for the reply though

That will definitely get rid of the job, but that is NOT the way it should be done. The kill command will not allow the program to terminate gracefully and may leave ".lck" files lying around.
