/sys$common/syshlp/helplib.hlb START, /QUEUE, /MANAGER, Description  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    The START/QUEUE/MANAGER command has the following uses:

    o  Enter the command START/QUEUE/MANAGER/NEW_VERSION to create
       the queue database and initially start a queue manager.
       See the description of the /NEW_VERSION qualifier for more
       information. Once the queue manager has been started, it
       will remain running unless it is explicitly stopped with the
       STOP/QUEUE/MANAGER/CLUSTER command.

    o  If the STOP/QUEUE/MANAGER/CLUSTER command has been executed,
       enter the START/QUEUE/MANAGER command to restart a queue
       manager.

    o  In an OpenVMS Cluster, enter the START/QUEUE/MANAGER command
       with the /ON qualifier to modify the list of preferred nodes
       on which a queue manager can run. See the description of the
       /ON qualifier for more information.

    o  In an OpenVMS Cluster, enter the START/QUEUE/MANAGER command
       to ensure that a queue manager process is executing on the
       most preferred, available node. If the queue manager is not
       running on the most preferred, available node, the queue
       manager will be moved to that node without interruption of
       service. If you are using the default node list (*),  the
       queue manager will not move. For more information, see the
       description of the /ON qualifier.

    If the queue manager is in a location other than the default, and
    in OpenVMS Cluster environments with multiple system disks, you
    must define the logical name QMAN$MASTER. For instructions, refer
    to the chapter about the queue manager and queue database in the
    OpenVMS System Manager's Manual.

    If a queue manager does not start when you enter the
    START/QUEUE/MANAGER command, you will receive the following
    message:

    %JBC-E-QMANNOTSTARTED, queue manager could not be started

    If you see this message, search the operator log file
    SYS$MANAGER:OPERATOR.LOG (or look on the operator console) for
    messages from the facilities QUEUE_MANAGE and JOB_CONTROL for
    information about the problem, as follows:

    $ SEARCH SYS$MANAGER:OPERATOR.LOG /WINDOW=5 QUEUE_MANAGE,JOB_CONTROL
