Command Definitions S-SO
SHUTQ
SHUTQ
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.
