Any attempts to move jobs require lpd to effectively "run" the job, where other commands are manipulation within the queue. As long as jobs are MOVING in your congested queue, the move command works ok. It's when you have jobs that are stuck that you run into trouble. This very well may be addressed in future releases...I must defer to Dr. Powell for that... ============================================================================ John Perkins | University of Wisconsin-Madison Associate Researcher | Department of Computer Science [EMAIL PROTECTED] | 1210 W.
