Print Job Number and actual file 1

[AlbertAguirre]

I would like to find a way to link a print job number to the actualy file created in /var/spool/qdaemon

How can this be done?

for job in /var/spool/qdaemon/*
do
num=`grep -l $job /var/spool/lpd/qdir/* 2>/dev/null| xargs head -1`
if [[ "$num" -ne "" ]]
then
print "$job: $num"
fi
done

The number printed is the true print job number. You can use it directly, but the rightmost three numbers will work by themselves.

I was looking for a UNIX command that would give me the info but this will work.

Thanks!
