Offline output
The ;offline option in conman commands is
generally used to print the output of a command. When you include
it, the following shell variables control the output:
- MAESTROLP
- Specifies the destination of a command's output. Set it to one
of the following:
- > file
- Redirects output to a file and overwrites the contents of that file. If the file does not exist, it is created.
- >> file
- Redirects output to a file and appends the output to the end of that file. If the file does not exist, it is created.
- | command
- Pipes output to a system command or process. The system command is run whether or not output is generated.
- || command
- Pipes output to a system command or process. The system command is not run if there is no output.
The default value for MAESTROLP is | lp -tCONLIST which pipes the command output to the printer and places the title “CONLIST” in the printout's banner page.
- MAESTROLPLINES
- Specifies the number of lines per page. The default is 60.
- MAESTROLPCOLUMNS
- Specifies the number of characters per line. The default is 132.
The variables must be exported before running conman.
