PLSTAT(1ICD)

NAME
plstat - get and display status of hp7586B plotter

SYNOPSIS
plstat [server]

DESCRIPTION
With the plstat program a privileged user (and root) can get and display the status of the hp7586B plotter.

Plstat may only be used if the plotter is not busy and the plot-queue is in the hold-state.

Optional a plot-server can be specified (default hpq), indirectly specifying the name of the plot-device (through an entry in the file "plot_devs").

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
No check is made on the plot-queue being in the hold-state, lock-file processing for the plot-device is done (compatible with plot-servers: hpq, hpnew, ...).
