Q: How can I print multiple files with one qpr command?

A: There are several ways to print multiple files at a time. The most straightforward way is to simply list the files separated with spaces. For example:

qpr -q geogbw1 file1.ps file2.ps file3.ps file4.ps

Since all of the files I want to print begin with file, I could adjust the command as follows assuming that there are no other files starting with the word file.

qpr -q geogbw1 file*

If there are other files in the directory starting with the word file that I didn't want to print, I could just print all of the files ending in .ps as follows.

qpr -q geogbw1 *.ps

The asterisk * is a wild card. If you'd like to know more about wildcards, please visit the OIT's Help Desk Introduction to the OIT UNIX System.
