hi all,

I need to write a script which captures all the print jobs that are 3 days and older and send a notification to the concerned person.I
know lpstat -o output gives the print queue.I have not done much of scripting.So any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks a bunch,
joe gibbs

Joe,
attached a script I quickly put together,
it SHOULD do the job (hopefully).
I have added comments, so you can see whats happening. If you want to see more please comment out the remove steps and look at the *.lis files.

If the script provides some help please also have a look at:
