AUTOSTART

   The DISABLE AUTOSTART command disables the autostart feature. By
   default, this command uses the /QUEUES qualifier.

   Requires OPER (operator) privilege.

   Use this command to notify 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.

   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 Guide to
   Maintaining a VMS System.

/ON_NODE/QUEUES

      /ON_NODE=nodename


   Specifies a node in the VAXcluster. Use this qualifier to disable
   autostart on a node other than the one from which you enter the
   command.

   Specifies that autostart is to be disabled for queues. (This
   parameter is used by default.)

   1.  $ INITIALIZE/QUEUE/BATCH/START/AUTOSTART_ON=SATURN:: BATCH_1

       $ ENABLE AUTOSTART/QUEUES/ON_NODE
          .
          .
          .
       $ DISABLE AUTOSTART/QUEUES/ON_NODE

     In this example, the INITIALIZE/QUEUE command creates an
     autostart queue BATCH_1, capable of executing on node SATURN.
     The /START qualifier activates the queue for autostart. The
     ENABLE/AUTOSTART/QUEUES command (executed on node SATURN)
     enables autostart on the node, causing the queue (and any other
     active autostart queues on the node) to begin executing jobs.

     The DISABLE AUTOSTART command (executed on node SATURN) stops
     all autostart queues on the node, and prevents queues from
     failing over to the node.

     Because BATCH_1 is set up to run only on one node, the queue
     cannot fail over to another node and therefore is stopped.
     However, the queue remains active for autostart and will be
     started when the ENABLE AUTOSTART command is entered for node
     SATURN. No START/QUEUE command is needed to restart BATCH_1
     unless autostart is deactivated with the STOP/QUEUE/NEXT or
     STOP/QUEUE/RESET command.

   2.  $DISABLE/AUTOSTART/QUEUES/ON_NODE=JADE

     The DISABLE AUTOSTART/QUEUES command in this example disables
     autostart on the VAXcluster node JADE. This command can be
     entered from any node in the cluster.
