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

    The STOP/QUEUES/ON_NODE command notifies the queue manager to
    perform the following tasks:

    o  Abort all current jobs that cannot be restarted (in all of
       that queue manager's execution queues on the appropriate
       node), and requeue all current restartable jobs.

    o  Stop all of that queue manager's execution queues on the
       appropriate node. Force any of that queue manager's autostart
       queues on the node to fail over to the next available node
       in the queue's failover list (if any) on which autostart is
       enabled.

    o  Prevent any of that queue manager's autostart queues from
       failing over to the node.

    By default, this command affects the node from which it is
    entered. Specify a nodename with the /ON_NODE qualifier to stop
    queues on a different node.

    By default, the command affects autostart queues managed by the
    default queue manager, SYS$QUEUE_MANAGER. Specify the /NAME_
    OF_MANAGER qualifier to disable autostart of a different queue
    manager's autostart queues (on the node).

    The STOP/QUEUES/ON_NODE command affects all autostart and
    nonautostart execution queues on the appropriate node that are
    managed by the queue manager. Autostart queues stopped as a
    result of this command remain active for autostart and will
    be restarted when the ENABLE AUTOSTART command is entered for
    the affected node or a node to which the queue can fail over.
    Nonautostart queues stopped as a result of this command must each
    be started with a START/QUEUE command specifying the queue name.

    If you are using autostart queues, you might want to enter the
    DISABLE AUTOSTART/QUEUES command. For more information on the
    relationship between DISABLE AUTOSTART/QUEUES and STOP/QUEUES/ON_
    NODE, refer to the section on stopping queues before shutting
    down a system in the chapter about queues in the OpenVMS System
    Manager's Manual.

    The STOP/QUEUES/ON_NODE command is included in the shutdown
    command procedure SYS$SYSTEM:SHUTDOWN.COM. If you shut down a
    node without using SHUTDOWN.COM, you might want to enter the
    STOP/QUEUES/ON_NODE command first. For more information on
    stopping queues before shutting down a node, refer to the chapter
    about queues in the OpenVMS System Manager's Manual.
