QCAT(1)

NAME
qcat - display NQS request output.

SYNOPSIS
qcat [ -e ] [ -i ] [ -o ] [ -u username ] [ -v ] request-id

DESCRIPTION
Qcat displays the spooled stdout, stderr, or input script file for the NQS request whose request-id is listed on the command line.

An NQS request is always uniquely identified by its request-id, no matter where it is in the network of the machines comprising the NPSN. A request-id is always of the form: seqno or seqno.hostname where hostname identifies the machine from whence the request was originally submitted, and seqno identifies the sequence number assigned to the request on the originating host. If the hostname portion of a request-id is omitted, then the local host is always assumed.

The request-id of any NQS request is displayed when the request is first submitted (unless the silent mode of operation for the given NQS command was specified). The user can also obtain the request-id of any request through the use of the qstat(1) command.

To view the input, output, or error file of an NQS request, the invoking user must be the owner; namely the submitter of the request. The only exception to this rule occurs when the invoking user is the superuser, or has NQS operator privileges as defined in the NQS manager database. Under these conditions, the invoker may specify the -u username flag which allows the invoker to print the files requests owned by the user whose account name is username.

OPTIONS

-e  The stderr file is to be displayed. If the request was submitted with the -eo switch, then there will be no stderr file.

-i  The input script is to be displayed.

-o  The stdout file is to be shown. This is the default.

-u username
    Indicate the owner of the request, if not the invoker.

-v  List the version of the file.

All other switches will print an indication of the usage of the program.

BUGS
One cannot see any of the files of a job executing on a remote machine.
