BKDR - display the entries in the backdoor queue.

Syntax:

BKDR [userid | +All] [-Snumb] [+Verbose]

Examples:

bkdr
bkdr +a
bkdr fbaggins
bkdr fbaggins +s

Options:

userid
lists only jobs belonging to the specified userid. The default is your own userid.
+All
lists all jobs, regardless of userid.
-Snumb
will not print the SNUMB of the job. The SNUMB is needed if you want to kill a listing with the JABT command.
+Verbose
includes the banner of the print job in the listing. This option takes much longer to execute, and requires CARDIN privilege if you are listing another user's jobs.

Description:

BKDR displays information about files in the backdoor queue. The information is listed in columns.

The first column contains an integer, which shows the position of the job in the queue. The second column represents the file size of the entry in llinks. The size will always be a multiple of 12, since temporary files can only grow 12 llinks at a time. It gives a rough indication of how big the job is.

The next column names the userid that created this entry in the backdoor queue (this is displayed only if all backdoors are being listed). The next column shows the SNUMB of the file to be printed. This is displayed by default, but may be suppressed with the -Snumb option. Jobs that have already started printing are marked with a "*". The next column gives the banner that will be printed for the job; this is only displayed if +Verbose was specified.
