you display and monitor jobs information using the command line.
This command provides a quick, low-bandwidth alternative to the
Job Browser when you want to check on specific jobs.

Tasks and Examples |
|
To simply list the jobs available, type:
swjob
To display attributes of jobs on the local system, type:
swjob -v
To display attributes of jobs on remote system swbash3, type:
swjob -v @ swbash3:/var/spool/sw
Using the -a log option lets you display log files for jobs. A job log
file summarizes job details and target actions. For example, to
display the depot log file for the job swbash3-0008 on remote system swbash3:
swjob -a log swbash3-0008 @ swbash3:/var/spool/sw
