# pqlist(1)

List available NetWare print queues

## NAME

pqlist - List available NetWare print queues

## SYNOPSIS

**pqlist** \[ **-h** \] \[ **-S** *server* \] \[ **-U** *user name* \] \[ **-P** *password*\
  \| **-n** \] \[ **-C** \] \[ *pattern* \]

## DESCRIPTION

**pqlist** lists all the NetWare print queues available to you on some server. If you are already connected to some server, this one is used.

If pqlist does not print to a tty, the decorative header line is not printed, so that you can count the printing queue available on your server by doing

  pqlist -S server \| wc -l

**pqlist** looks up the file *$HOME/.nwclient* to find a file server, a user name and possibly a password. See [nwclient(5)](/nwclient/5.md) for more information. Please note that the access permissions of .nwclient MUST be 600, for security reasons.

## OPTIONS

**pattern**

**pattern** is used to list only selected queues. You can use wildcards in the pattern, but you have to be careful to prevent shell interpretation of wildcards like '\*'.

- **-h**

  **-h** is used to print out a short help text.

- **-S** *server*

  **server** is the name of the server you want to use.

**-U** *user name*

If the user name your NetWare administrator gave to you differs from your unix user-id, you should use **-U** to tell the server about your NetWare user name.

- **-P** *password*

  You may want to give the password required by the server on the command line. You should be careful about using passwords in scripts.

- **-n**

  **-n** should be given to mount shares which do not require a password to log in.

  If neither **-n** nor **-P** are given, pqlist prompts for a password.

- **-C**

  By default, passwords are converted to uppercase before they are sent to the server, because most servers require this. You can turn off this conversion by **-C.**
