lprm - remove jobs from the line printer spooling queue


Usage

Lprm will send a request to remove jobs from a spool queue. Lprm is normally the only method by which a user may remove a job. The jobs to be removed are specified by the job number or user name; with no specifiers the first removable in a queue will be selected for removal.
