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

Syntax

SHUTQ { ldev [;SHOW] 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
