[comp.lang.postscript] monitoring PostScript jobs

fran@garnet.berkeley.edu (Fran Rizzardi) (01/13/89)

We have a large operator-assisted PostScript printer which receives jobs
using TranScript.  From time to time a large job will tie it up for many
(20+) minutes.  We would like to have a way to indicate whether such a job
is merely taking a long time to load, or is using a lot of CPU time.

As a quick and dirty solution I could probably modify pscomm to print out
the "sending" and "status busy" messages it receives, but I was wondering
if someone else has already written something which would meet our needs.
Any suggestions or leads would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Fran Rizzardi
