1  DISABLE
 

2  AUTOSTART
   Disables the autostart feature on a node for all autostart queues
   managed by the specific queue manager. By default, this command
   uses the /QUEUES qualifier.

   Requires OPER (operator) privileges.

   Disabling autostart for queues notifies the queue manager to
   perform the following tasks on the affected node:

   o  Mark all autostart queues as "stop pending" in preparation for
      a planned shutdown.

   o  Prevent autostart queues from failing over to the node.

   o  Upon completion of any jobs currently executing on one of the
      node's autostart queues, force the queue to fail over to the
      next available node in a queue's failover list (if any) on
      which autostart is enabled. (For information on failover lists
      for autostart queues, see the /AUTOSTART_ON qualifier for the
      INITIALIZE/QUEUE command.)

   Autostart queues on the node that do not have a failover list, or
   for which no failover node is enabled for autostart, are stopped
   upon completion of any current jobs. These stopped queues remain
   activated for autostart. The queue manager will restart these
   stopped autostart queues when the ENABLE AUTOSTART command is
   entered for the affected node or a node to which the queue can
   fail over.

   By default, the command affects the node on which it is entered.
   Use the /ON_NODE qualifier to disable autostart on a different
   node. On VAX systems 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 DISABLE AUTOSTART/QUEUES command is included in the node
   shutdown command procedure SHUTDOWN.COM. If you shutdown a node
   without using SHUTDOWN.COM, and the node is running autostart
   queues, you might want to enter the DISABLE AUTOSTART/QUEUES
   command first.

   The DISABLE AUTOSTART/QUEUES command only affects autostart
   queues.

   For more information on autostart queues, see the chapter on
   batch and print queues in the VSI OpenVMS System Manager's Manual.

   Format

     DISABLE AUTOSTART[/QUEUES]
 

3  Qualifiers
 

/NAME_OF_MANAGER

      /NAME_OF_MANAGER=name

   Specifies the name of the queue manager controlling the autostart
   queues you want to disable. The qualifier allows the autostart
   feature to be used differently for different sets of queues.

   If the /NAME_OF_MANAGER qualifier is omitted, the default queue
   manager name SYS$QUEUE_MANAGER is used. For more information
   on multiple queue managers, see the VSI OpenVMS System Manager's
   Manual.
 

/ON_NODE

      /ON_NODE=nodename

   Specifies a node in an OpenVMS Cluster system. Use this qualifier
   to disable autostart on a node other than the one from which you
   enter the command.
 

/QUEUES

   Specifies that autostart is to be disabled for queues. (This
   qualifier is used by default.)
 

3  Examples

   1.$ INITIALIZE/QUEUE/BATCH/START/AUTOSTART_ON=SATURN:: BATCH_1
     $ ENABLE AUTOSTART/QUEUES
        .
        .
        .
     $ DISABLE AUTOSTART/QUEUES

     In this example, the INITIALIZE/QUEUE command creates an
     autostart queue BATCH_1, capable of executing on node SATURN.
     The /START qualifier activates the queue for autostart. The
     ENABLE AUTOSTART/QUEUES command (executed on node SATURN)
     enables autostart on the node, causing the queue (and any other
     active autostart queues on the node) to begin executing jobs.

     The DISABLE AUTOSTART command (executed on node SATURN) stops
     autostart queues on the node, and prevents any queues from
     failing over to the node.

     This command only affects queues managed by the default
     queue manager SYS$QUEUE_MANAGER because the /NAME_OF_MANAGER
     qualifier is not specified.

     Because BATCH_1 is set up to run only on one node, the queue
     cannot fail over to another node and therefore is stopped;
     however, the queue remains active for autostart and will
     be started when the ENABLE AUTOSTART command is entered for
     node SATURN. No START/QUEUE command is needed to restart
     BATCH_1 unless autostart of the queue is deactivated with the
     STOP/QUEUE/NEXT or STOP/QUEUE/RESET command.

   2.$ DISABLE AUTOSTART/QUEUES/ON_NODE=JADE

     The DISABLE AUTOSTART/QUEUES command in this example disables
     autostart on the OpenVMS Cluster node JADE. This command can be
     entered from any node in the cluster.
