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
