xprintmon1
X11 program to monitor print jobs in lprng's queue.
Usage
xprintmon [options]
Overview
To be added...
Options
-
-user username -
The argument to this option is given as argument to lpq -s so only jobs belonging to this user are shown in the overview (that is the first and main) window. If this option is not specified, the setting from the resources and that from the environment variables is used.
-
-iconify -
Start as iconified window. Your window manager might not support this.
Resources
The resources most interesting to change can be found in the /etc/X11/app_defaults/XPrintMon file. Especially interesting:
XPrintMon.rescan-
Milliseconds after which the main window triggers a rescan. (Default is 10000)
- XPrintMon*TopLevelShell.rescan and/or XPrintMon*queuename.rescan
-
Same for the printer windows. (Default is 3000)
XPrintMon.mainform.user.label-
This is the default, if no
--usercommand line argument is given.
XPrintMon.nostart-
This is not used by XPrintMon itself. But when it exists the Xsession.d script this package installs does not start xprintmon even if there is a
start-xprintmonin your/etc/X11/Xsession.optionsfile.
Environment
Unless there is a --user command line argument, or the resource XPrintMon.mainform.user.label is set, the environment variables USER (and if that is also unset LOGNAME) are used to determine the user, who's jobs are counted in the main window.
