PLTRM(1ICD)

NAME
pltrm - remove entries from the plot-queue

SYNOPSIS
pltrm id
pltrm -a

DESCRIPTION
The pltrm program can be used to remove entries from the plot-queue. The user must be the owner of the plot entry. Privileged users can delete any entry. Actually the program pltr does the work.

The argument id must be specified to delete a specific entry (all digits including leading zeros must be specified). With the program pltq you can find out what the id of a specific entry in the queue is.

The argument -a can be used to delete all your entries from the plot-queue.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
Deleting entries from the queue may take some time before being effective as this will be done only if no cluster is being plotted (may take more than two hours for a very large plot). An entry that is part of a cluster being plotted can not be deleted.

Pltrm instructs pltr to create a 'delete' entry in the spool directory; the actual deleting of specific entries is performed by the plot-queue daemon pltd.
