💖 DNDEL(1) — bestie edition 💖

okay so you opened the General Commands Manual and landed on DNDEL(1), and honestly? plot twist: this page is actually about dnsubmit and dnprint. we contain multitudes. let's get into it 🦋

---

✨ NAME ✨

• dnsubmit — submit a batch job on a VMS system 🖥️
• dnprint — print a file on a VMS system 🖨️

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

dnsubmit [options] file-name
dnprint [options] file-name
Options:
[-vh]

like, give it a file name and maybe some options and it just goes 💫

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so dnprint and dnsubmit send files to a VMS machine — one for printing, one for batch execution. that's the whole job. 💅

these commands behave similarly to the VMS PRINT/REMOTE and SUBMIT/REMOTE commands, in that you get very little control of the queueing mechanism. that's not a bug, that's just the deal, bestie. 🙈

dnprint always prints to the queue SYS$PRINT, and dnsubmit always submits to SYS$BATCH. no cap, that's just where they go. of course you can always redirect these queues using logical names, so if you need them somewhere else, that's your move. 👑

oh and also — see the man page for dncopy for a discussion of VMS file specifications. iykyk. 📚

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -T connect timeout — specifies the maximum amount of time the command will wait to establish a connection with the remote node. a 0 here will cause it to wait forever. the default is 60 seconds. ⏳
• -h, -? — displays help for using the command. your little safety net, we love her 🫶
• -V — show the version of the tools package that the program comes from. slay, let's see what we're running ✨

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

look at her go:

dnsubmit 'myvax::myjob.com'

dnprint 'tramp"christine pjc123"::file.lis'
