NAME

   rlart - off line lart
    

SYNOPSIS

   rlart [-Llart] [-#num] [-C class] [-J job] [-T phrase] [-A admin]
   [-fmrs] [name ...]
    

DESCRIPTION

   rlart uses a spooling daemon to lart the named lusers when facilities
   become available. If no names appear, the standard input is assumed.
   
   The following single letter options are used to notify the lart
   spooler that the files are not standard larts. The spooling daemon
   will use the appropriate filters to print the data accordingly.

   -f   Use a filter which interprets the first character of each line
        as a standard FORTRAN lart control character.
   
   These options apply to the handling of the lart job:

   -L   Force lartd(8) to use specific lart. Normally, the default lart
        is used (site dependent), or the value of the environment
        variable LART is used.

   -m   Send mail upon completion.

   -r   Remove the luser upon completion of spooling or upon completion
        of larting (with the -s option).

   -s   Use symbolic links. Usually lusers are copied to the spool
        directory. The -s option will use symlink(2) to link lusers
        rather than trying to copy them. This means the lusers should
        not be modified or removed until they have been larted.

   The remaining options apply to copies, the page display, and headers:
   -#num The quantity num is the number of larts for each luser named.

   For example,

        rlart -#3 bob lionel manager

   would result in 3 larts to bob, followed by 3 larts to lionel, etc.
   Often a site will disable this feature to encourage use of a Wide Area
   LART instead.

   -T phrase    Allows the admin to supply the phrase to be used before
                the luser is larted. If not specified, the default
                phrase specified in lartcap(5) will be used.

   -A admin     Admin name to be used for accounting purposes. This
                option is only honored if the real user-id is daemon (or
                that specified in the printcap file instead of daemon),
                and is intended for those instances where admins wish to
                re-queue jobs.


ENVIRONMENT

   If the following environment variable exists, it is used by lartq:

   LART  Specifies an alternate default lart.


FILES

   /etc/passwd Luser identification.
   /etc/lartcap LART capabilities data base.
   /usr/sbin/lartd lart daemon.
   /var/larts/output/* Directories used for spooling.
   /var/larts/output/*/cf* Daemon control files.
   /var/larts/output/*/df* Data files specified in "cf" files.
   /var/larts/output/*/tf* Temporary copies of "cf" files.


NOTES

   With a little cleverness, it is possible to cron larts in such a
   fashion that drink(2) may be called earlier than previously possible.
   Further, it is also possible to cause random larts to be queued, for
   those wishing to maintain a truly BOFH site.


BUGS

   Filters should be created for standard RPG, COBOL, ADA, PL/1 and
   Visual BASIC.
