Select v1.4
Created by Jeff Pilant <pilant@nadc.nadc.navy.mil>
Usage:
SELECT <queue> [/NB] | <keyword> | FILE <filename>
Where:
<queue> is the name of a print queue
/NB selects no banner
HELP this text
RESET reset to login setup
LPT set for no capturing of printers
NONE set for no capturing of printers
LOCAL set for no capturing of printers
SHOW display capture status
FILE set for capture to file <filename>
the captured file must reside on the server
With no arguments, select give a menu and allows you to
set the timeout and choose queues for lpt2 and lpt3 as well.
--------------------------------
Select is designed to let you choose a novell print queue for the lpt ports
given a list of queues drawn from the server's bindery. After the list of
queues are learned, Select adds 'NONE' for no queue capture.
This system is designed to work with JRB's USERS.EXE. I add a field to his
LOCATION.SRT file that contains the queue name and arguments to assign on
login. The initial number (before the ':') of the file is optional as per
the users. Select RESET will use this queue and arg list. If you give no
arguments, select will prompt you with a list to pick from.
Sample LOCATION.SRT:
00000000:000000000000 Server NONE
00000001:02608C42EC1A Console PC PRINTQ_0
00000001:02608C4BFBAE @Jeff Pilant Q_833/NB
Select defaults to capturing lpt1, but if you bring up the menu, you can
choose to affect lpt1, lpt2, or lpt3. Select sets a timeout of /TI=30, and
also sets /NT (no tabs). The Select menu responds to Home, End, PgUp, PgDn,
Up, Down, B, 1, 2, and 3. The arrows will wrap, the numbers select a printer
port, and B will toggle banners.
Pressing Return will select the highlighted queue and apply the banner state.
Pressing Escape will exit and display the current capture status. Pressing
F1 (Help) will exit and display the help screen. Pressing X, Alt-X, or Ctl-X
will exit with no displays.
The argument FILE on select's command line, will capture to a file with a
timeout of 300. If your queue names start with 'Q_', for example Q_COLOR,
then you can drom the 'Q_' and say select color.
