The DIRECTORY command produces its listing by looking at either the actual channel queue directory tree on disk, or by looking at the queue cache database. The VIEW command controls which is used. By default, the view is the channel queue directory tree. Issue the command, qm.maint> VIEW DATABASE qm.maint> to switch to viewing the queue cache database. The command qm.maint> VIEW DIRECTORY_TREE qm.maint> will switch you back to viewing the channel queue directory tree. Issuing the VIEW command without any parameter will restore the default behavior and is thus equivalent to the VIEW DIRECTORY_ TREE command.
