VMS Help STOP, /QUEUE, /MANAGER, /CLUSTER  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    Shuts down the queue manager on a standalone node or an OpenVMS
    Cluster. The /QUEUE qualifier is optional, but the /MANAGER
    and /CLUSTER qualifiers are required on both standalone and
    clustered systems. By default, the command affects the default
    queue manager, SYS$QUEUE_MANAGER. Specify the /NAME_OF_MANAGER
    qualifier to shut down a queue manager other than the default.

    Requires OPER (operator) and SYSNAM (system logical name)
    privileges.

    The STOP/QUEUE/MANAGER/CLUSTER command notifies the queue manager
    to perform the following on the standalone node or on all nodes
    in the cluster:

    o  Aborts all current jobs that cannot be restarted, and requeues
       all current restartable jobs

    o  Stops all execution queues

    o  Disables autostart on all nodes

    o  Closes all queue database files

    Once the STOP/QUEUE/MANAGER/CLUSTER command is entered, the queue
    manager process remains stopped, and requests to the queuing
    system are denied until the DCL command START/QUEUE/MANAGER is
    entered.

    Format

      STOP/QUEUE/MANAGER/CLUSTER

1 - Qualifier

 1.1 - /NAME_OF_MANAGER

       /NAME_OF_MANAGER=name

    Specifies the name of the queue manager process to be stopped.
    If the /NAME_OF_MANAGER qualifier is omitted, the default queue
    manager name SYS$QUEUE_MANAGER is used. For more information,
    refer to the chapter about the queue manager in the OpenVMS
    System Manager's Manual.

2 - Example

  $ STOP/QUEUE/MANAGER/CLUSTER

      The STOP/QUEUE/MANAGER/CLUSTER command in this example stops
      the queue manager process, SYS$QUEUE_MANAGER. The process
      remains stopped and requests to SYS$QUEUE_MANAGER will be
      denied until the START/QUEUE/MANAGER command is entered.

      This command stops the default queue manager SYS$QUEUE_MANAGER
      because the /NAME_OF_MANAGER qualifier is not specified.
