MPE/iX Commands Reference Manual Volume I

SHUTQ 

Closes the spool queue(s) for the specified logical device, device name,
or all members of a device class.  (Native Mode)

Syntax 

      {ldev [;SHOW]    }
SHUTQ {devclass [;SHOW]}
      {devname [;SHOW] }
      {@               }
Parameters 

ldev                  The logical device number of the device.

devclass              The device class name of the devices.

devname               The device name of the device.  Note that it is not
                      possible to have a device class name and a device
                      name that are the same.  If you enter an
                      alphanumeric character string, the command searches
                      the device class list first, and then the device
                      name list.

SHOW                  The SHOW parameter displays the current queue state
                      (enabled or unenabled) of the devices specified
                      with the SHUTQ command.

@                     The @ parameter globally disables all currently
                      open spooling queues without closing the spooling
                      queues.  Thus when the spooling queues are globally
                      reenabled with the OPENQ @ command, all spooling
                      queues that were opened before being globally
                      disabled will again be open.

                      Refer to the Native Mode Spooler Reference Manual 
                      (32650-90166) for more discussion on enabling and
                      disabling of spooling queues.

                      Use the @ option without any other parameter.  The
                      SHOW option entered with the @ option returns an
                      error.

Operation Notes 

The SHUTQ command closes the spool queue(s) for a logical device or all
members of a device class configured in the system.  The spooler process,
however, does not need to be running for the device.  If the spooler
process is running, it is unaffected by shutting the queue.

This command also serves as an option to the STARTSPOOL and SPOOLER
commands, which are documented in this chapter.

Use 

This command may be issued from a session, job, program, or in BREAK.
Pressing Break has no effect on this command.  It may be issued only from
the console unless distributed to users with the ALLOW or ASSOCIATE
command.

Examples 

To shut the queue for all devices in class LP, enter:

     SHUTQ LP 

To shut the spool queue and show the state of the queue and other
information about the specified device, enter:

     SHUTQ 6;SHOW
