HELP STOP — MicroVMS 4.4

Terminates execution of a command, image, command procedure, a
command procedure that was interrupted by CTRL/Y, or a detached
process or subprocess.  You must have GROUP privilege to stop
other processes in the same GROUP.  You must have WORLD privilege
to stop processes outside your group.

Format
 STOP [process-name]

Additional information available:

ParametersQualifiers

/ABORT/ENTRY/QUEUE/REQUEUE

Parameters

process-name
 Requires that the process be in your group.
 Name of the process running the command procedure or image. The
 process name can have from 1 to 15 alphanumeric characters.
 Incompatible with the /IDENTIFICATION qualifier.  You must use
 /IDENTIFICATION=pid to specify a process outside of your group.

Qualifiers

Additional information available:

/IDENTIFICATION

/IDENTIFICATION=pid

 Specifies the system-assigned process identification. /IDENTIFICATION
 can be used in place of the process name parameter.

/ABORT

Aborts the executing print job, deleting it from the queue, and
resumes execution of jobs in the queue. (The STOP/ABORT command is
equivalent to the STOP/QUEUE/ABORT command.)

Format
 STOP/ABORT queue-name[:]

 Requires the Secure User Environment Option.

 Requires OPER privilege, E (execute) access to the queue, or D (delete)
 access to the current job.

Additional information available:

Parameters

Parameters

queue-name
 The name of the queue in which the job is executing.

/ENTRY

Stops the specified job currently executing in the specified batch
queue and resumes execution of the next pending job in the queue. The
job number is the number assigned to the job when it is submitted to
the queue. (The STOP/ENTRY command is equivalent to the
STOP/QUEUE/ENTRY command; use the DELETE/ENTRY command to stop an
entry that is queued and pending execution.)

Format
 STOP/ENTRY=entry-number queue-name[:]

 Requires the Secure User Environment Option.

 Requires OPER (operator) privilege, E (execute) access to the queue, or D
 (delete) access to the current job.

Additional information available:

Parameters

Parameters

queue-name
 The name of the batch queue in which the job is executing.

/QUEUE

Stops the specified execution queue. All jobs currently executing in
the queue are suspended (until the queue is restarted with the
START/QUEUE command) and no new jobs can be initiated. The /REQUEUE
and /RESET qualifiers provide other ways of stopping queues. To stop
individual jobs on the queue, specify the /ABORT, /ENTRY, or /REQUEUE
qualifier.

Format
 STOP/QUEUE queue-name

 Requires the Secure User Environment Option.

 Requires OPER (operator) privilege or EXECUTE access to the queue.

Additional information available:

ParametersQualifiers

/MANAGER

Parameters

queue-name
 Name of the queue.

Qualifiers

Additional information available:

/ABORT/ENTRY/HOLD/NEXT/QUEUE/PRIORITY/REQUEUE
/RESET

/ABORT

 Aborts the current print job, deleting it from the queue, and resumes
 execution of the jobs in the queue. (STOP/QUEUE/ABORT is equivalent to
 STOP/ABORT.)

/ENTRY=job-number

 Stops the specified job currently executing in a batch queue and
 resumes execution of the jobs in the queue. To delete an entry that is
 queued and pending execution, specify the DELETE/ENTRY command.
 (STOP/QUEUE/ENTRY is equivalent to STOP/ENTRY.) The job number is the
 number assigned to the job when it is submitted to the queue.

/HOLD

 Places the aborted job on hold; must be used in combination with the
 /REQUEUE qualifier. To release the job, use the SET
 QUEUE/ENTRY/RELEASE or SET QUEUE/ENTRY/NOHOLD command; to delete,
 specify DELETE/ENTRY.

/NEXT queue-name

 Stops the queue after all executing jobs have completed processing. No
 new jobs can be initiated; the START/QUEUE command will restart the
 queue.

/QUEUE

 Indicates a stop queue operation. This qualifier is required and must
 precede all other qualifiers and parameters.

/PRIORITY=n

 Requires OPER or ALTPRI privilege to raise the priority above
 the value of the MAXQUEPRI parameter.
 Changes the priority of the aborted job. Must be used with the
 /REQUEUE qualifier. The value of n is an integer from 0 to 255 that
 specifies priority; the default is the current priority of the job.

/REQUEUE[=queue-name]

 Stops the current job and requeues it for later processing. Print jobs
 that have been checkpointed will resume printing at the checkpoint.
 Batch jobs containing SET RESTART_VALUE commands will run those
 portions of the job that have not successfully completed. When you use
 /REQUEUE with a batch queue, you must also use /ENTRY. If you specify
 a queue name, the current job is transferred to another queue.

/RESET

 Stops the queue without first terminating currently executing jobs.
 The START/QUEUE command restarts the queue. Current jobs that are
 restartable (all print jobs and any batch jobs submitted with the
 /RESTART qualifier) will be requeued for processing. Current jobs that
 are not restartable are aborted and must be resubmitted for
 processing.

/MANAGER

Performs an orderly shutdown of the system job queue manager.

Format
 STOP/QUEUE/MANAGER

 Requires the Secure User Environment Option.

 Requires both OPER and SYSNAM privilege.

/REQUEUE

Stops the current job on the specified queue and requeues it for later
processing; execution of the next pending job in the queue resumes.
Print jobs that have been checkpointed will resume printing at the
checkpoint. Batch jobs (specify /ENTRY) containing SET RESTART_VALUE
commands will run those portions of the job that have not successfully
completed.

Format
 STOP/REQUEUE[=queue-name] queue-name[:]

 Requires the Secure User Environment Option.

 Requires OPER (operator) privilege, E (execute) access to the queue, or D
 (delete) access to the current job.

Additional information available:

ParametersQualifiers

Parameters

queue-name
 The first queue-name ([=queue-name]) optionally specifies a queue to
 which the job is to be requeued. The second, required queue-name
 (queue-name[:]) specifies the name of the queue in which the job is
 executing.

Qualifiers

Additional information available:

/ENTRY/HOLD/PRIORITY

/ENTRY=job-number

 Required with batch queues to specify the job; the job-number is the number
 assigned to the job when it was submitted to the queue.

/HOLD

 Places the aborted job in a hold state for later release with the SET/QUEUE
 /ENTRY/RELEASE or SET QUEUE/ENTRY/NOHOLD command.  (Use DELETE/ENTRY to
 delete a job in the hold state.)

/PRIORITY=n

 Requires either OPER (operator) privilege or ALTPRI (alter priority)
 privilege to raise the priority value above the value of the SYSGEN
 parameter MAXQUEPRI.
 Changes the priority of the requeued job. The value of n can be from 0
 to 255; the default value of n is the job's current priority value.
