4.3 The DELETE Command
The DELETE command lets you delete queue entries that are waiting to be sent, or even while in the process
of being transmitted.
For example:
$ FAX SHOW QUEUE
CompuFax queue report as of 30-MAY-1995 13:34:41.69
0 FAX server queue entries
CompuFax queue report as of 30-MAY-1995 13:34:44.00
Conversion queue:
ID User Priority State Activation Time
1 P_SMITH 100 Convert
2 P_SMITH 100 Pending
3 P_SMITH 100 Pending
3 FAX server queue entries
$ FAX DELETE / EN TRY= (1, 2, 3)
$ FAX SHOW QUEUE
CompuFax queue report as of 30-MAY-1995 13:35:12.69
0 FAX server queue entries
The above example shows how the DELETE command removes queue entries.
The / ALL qualifier only has meaning when used with entries involving database lookup; when used in any
other context, it is ignored. If you send a single fax document to multiple destinations by using a database
lookup with wildcard, the / ALL option will delete the original queue entry plus any of the queue entries
resulting from the lookup, provided you specify either the original entry or one of the resulting entries in your
command. For example:
$ FAX SEN D TESTFAX.1 / LOOKUP= *
$ FAX SHOW QUEUE
CompuFax queue report as of 31-MAY-1995 18:58:09.47
Conversion queue:
ID User Priority State Activation Time
5 P_SMITH 100 Convert
6 P_SMITH 100 Pending
7 P_SMITH 100 Pending
Database queue:
ID User Priority State Activation Time
4 P_SMITH 100 Pending
1 To delete a single entry, you do not have to type the parentheses. For example: $ FAX DELETE
/ EN TRY= 3.
4 FAX server queue entries
$ FAX DELETE / EN TRY= 4 / ALL
$ FAX SHOW QUEUE
CompuFax queue report as of 31-MAY-1995 18:58:31.29
Database queue:
ID User Priority State Activation Time
4 P_SMITH 100 Aborting
Device TTA3: (Class 2), index 1:
ID User Priority State Activation Time
5 P_SMITH 100 Aborting
2 FAX server queue entries
