      You can choose from the following options:

      • All—Include both commandable and not commandable utility jobs in the display list

  5. To see statistics for a job, type / or S in the selection field next to the job and press Enter.More job statistics are available, but the method by which you access them depends on the utility associated with the job.For information about the statistics shown for the utility job that you selected and how to access additional statistics, see the following sections:
