The STOP/QUEUES/ON_NODE command notifies the queue manager to perform the following tasks: o Abort all current jobs that cannot be restarted (in all of that queue manager's execution queues on the appropriate node), and requeue all current restartable jobs. o Stop all of that queue manager's execution queues on the appropriate node. Force any of that queue manager's autostart queues on the node to fail over to the next available node in the queue's failover list (if any) on which autostart is enabled. o Prevent any of that queue manager's autostart queues from failing over to the node. By default, this command affects the node from which it is entered. Specify a nodename with the /ON_NODE qualifier to stop queues on a different node. By default, the command affects autostart queues managed by the default queue manager, SYS$QUEUE_MANAGER. Specify the /NAME_ OF_MANAGER qualifier to disable autostart of a different queue manager's autostart queues (on the node). The STOP/QUEUES/ON_NODE command affects all autostart and nonautostart execution queues on the appropriate node that are managed by the queue manager. Autostart queues stopped as a result of this command remain active for autostart and will be restarted when the ENABLE AUTOSTART command is entered for the affected node or a node to which the queue can fail over. Nonautostart queues stopped as a result of this command must each be started with a START/QUEUE command specifying the queue name. If you are using autostart queues, you might want to enter the DISABLE AUTOSTART/QUEUES command. For more information on the relationship between DISABLE AUTOSTART/QUEUES and STOP/QUEUES/ON_ NODE, see the section on stopping queues before shutting down a system in the chapter about queues in the VSI OpenVMS System Manager's Manual. The STOP/QUEUES/ON_NODE command is included in the shutdown command procedure SYS$SYSTEM:SHUTDOWN.COM. If you shut down a node without using SHUTDOWN.COM, you might want to enter the STOP/QUEUES/ON_NODE command first. For more information on stopping queues before shutting down a node, see the chapter about queues in the VSI OpenVMS System Manager's Manual.
