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

    Stops the specified queue after all executing jobs have completed
    processing. No new jobs are initiated. For autostart queues, also
    marks the queue as inactive for autostart.

    The /QUEUE qualifier is optional, but you must specify the /NEXT
    qualifier.

    Requires manage (M) access to the queue.

    Format

      STOP/QUEUE/NEXT  queue-name[:]

1 - Parameter

 queue-name[:]

    Specifies the name of the queue that you want to stop.

2 - Examples

    1.$ STOP/QUEUE/NEXT LASER_PRINT

      In this example, the STOP/QUEUE/NEXT command prepares to stop
      the queue LASER_PRINT. The currently printing job is allowed
      to complete, but no new job is allowed to initiate. Once the
      current job has finished, the queue is stopped.

      If LASER_PRINT is an autostart queue, it will not be
      automatically started until you enter the START/QUEUE command.

    2.$ STOP/QUEUE/NEXT BATCH_1
      $ SHOW QUEUE/ALL BATCH_1
      Batch queue BATCH_1, stopped, on JADE::
      $ DELETE/QUEUE BATCH_1

      This example shows how to delete the batch queue BATCH_
      1. First, the STOP/QUEUE/NEXT command is entered, which
      stops the queue after jobs currently executing on the
      queue are completed. Second, the SHOW QUEUE/ALL command is
      entered to ensure that no jobs are pending in the queue. The
      screen display shows that no jobs are pending. Finally, the
      DELETE/QUEUE command is entered to delete the queue BATCH_1.
