AUTOSTART

   Disables the autostart feature on a node for all autostart queues
   managed by the specific queue manager. By default, this command
   uses the /QUEUES qualifier.

   Requires OPER (operator) privileges.

   Disabling autostart for queues notifies the queue manager to
   perform the following tasks on the affected node:

   o  Mark all autostart queues as "stop pending" in preparation for
      a planned shutdown.

   o  Prevent autostart queues from failing over to the node.

   o  Upon completion of any jobs currently executing on one of the
      node's autostart queues, force the queue to fail over to the
      next available node in a queue's failover list (if any) on
      which autostart is enabled. (For information on failover lists
      for autostart queues, see the /AUTOSTART_ON qualifier for the
      INITIALIZE/QUEUE command.)

   Autostart queues on the node that do not have a failover list, or
   for which no failover node is enabled for autostart, are stopped
   upon completion of any current jobs. These stopped queues remain
   activated for autostart. The queue manager will restart these
   stopped autostart queues when the ENABLE AUTOSTART command is
   entered for the affected node or a node to which the queue can
   fail over.

   By default, the command affects the node on which it is entered.
   Use the /ON_NODE qualifier to disable autostart on a different
   node. On VAX systems 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 DISABLE AUTOSTART/QUEUES command is included in the node
   shutdown command procedure SHUTDOWN.COM. If you shutdown a node
   without using SHUTDOWN.COM, and the node is running autostart
   queues, you might want to enter the DISABLE AUTOSTART/QUEUES
   command first.

   The DISABLE AUTOSTART/QUEUES command only affects autostart
   queues.

   For more information on autostart queues, see the chapter on
   batch and print queues in the VSI OpenVMS System Manager's Manual.
