06/24/90 cancel_output_request, cor Syntax: cor request_identifiers {-control_args} Function: deletes an I/O daemon request that is no longer needed. Arguments: request_identifiers can be chosen from the following: path identifies a request to be canceled by the full or relative pathname of the input data segment. The star convention is allowed. -entry STR, -et STR identifies a request to be canceled by STR, the entryname portion of the input data segment pathname. The star convention is allowed. -id ID identifies one or more requests to be canceled by a request identifier. This identifier can be used to further define any path or -entry identifier (see "Notes"). Control arguments: -all, -a searches all priority queues for the specified request type starting with the highest priority queue and ending with the lowest. This control argument is incompatible with -queue. -brief, -bf suppresses messages telling that a particular request identifier was not found or that requests were canceled when using star names or -all. -queue N, -q N specifies that queue N of the request type contains the request to be canceled, where N is a decimal integer specifying the number of the queue. If -queue is omitted, only the default queue for the request type is searched. This control argument is incompatible with -all. -print, -pr specifies that the requests to be canceled are found in the queue(s) associated with the default printer request type (see "Notes"). -punch, -pch specifies that the requests canceled are found in the queue(s) associated with the default punch request type (see "Notes"). -plot specifies that the requests canceled are found in the queue(s) associated with the default plotter request type (see "Notes"). -request_type STR, -rqt STR indicates that the request to be canceled is to be found in the queue for the request type identified by the string STR (see "Notes"). -user User_id specifies the name of the submitter of the request to be canceled, if not the group identifier of the process. The User_id can be equal to Person_id.Project_id, Person_id, or .Project_id. Both r and d extended access to the queue are required. This control argument is primarily for operators and administrators. Access required: You must have o extended access to the queue to cancel your own requests. You must have r and d extended access to cancel a request entered by another user. Notes: If the request is already running, the running request will not be stopped and the request's entry will not be removed from the queue. A warning message will be displayed to warn the user of this action. Multiple -id ID identifiers can be specified in a single command invocation only if no path or entry request identifiers are given. If any path or -entry STR request identifiers are given, only one -id ID request identifier is accepted and it must match any requests selected by path or entryname. When star names are not used and a single request identifier matches more than one request in the queue(s) searched, none of the requests are canceled; however, a message is printed telling how many matching requests there are. Normally, deletion can be made only by the user who originated the request. The -print, -punch, -plot and -request_type control arguments are mutually exclusive. Only one can be selected in a given command. If none are supplied, then cor searches the default request type used by eor -print (as displayed by the print_request_types command).

This donation is made also to give evidence of the common contributions of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Bell Laboratories, General Electric, Honeywell Information Systems Inc., Honeywell BULL Inc., Groupe BULL and BULL HN Information Systems Inc. to the development of this operating system. Multics development was initiated by Massachusetts Institute of Technology Project MAC (1963-1970), renamed the MIT Laboratory for Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence in the mid 1970s, under the leadership of Professor Fernando Jose Corbato. Users consider that Multics provided the best software architecture for managing computer hardware properly and for executing programs. Many subsequent operating systems incorporated Multics principles. Multics was distributed in 1975 to 2000 by Group Bull in Europe , and in the U.S. by Bull HN Information Systems Inc., as successor in interest by change in name only to Honeywell Bull Inc. and Honeywell Information Systems Inc. . ----------------------------------------------------------- Permission to use, copy, modify, and distribute these programs and their documentation for any purpose and without fee is hereby granted,provided that the below copyright notice and historical background appear in all copies and that both the copyright notice and historical background and this permission notice appear in supporting documentation, and that the names of MIT, HIS, BULL or BULL HN not be used in advertising or publicity pertaining to distribution of the programs without specific prior written permission.
