AUTOSTART

   The ENABLE AUTOSTART command enables the autostart feature.
   By default, this command uses the /QUEUES qualifier.

   Requires OPER (operator) privilege.

   Use this command to automatically start on the node all stopped
   active autostart queues that are capable of executing on or that
   fail over to the specified node. By default, this command affects
   the node from which it is entered. Specify the /ON_NODE qualifier
   to enable autostart on a different node.

   An autostart queue is active if it has been activated by the
   /START qualifier with the INITIALIZE/QUEUE command or by the START
   /QUEUE command, and has not been stopped by the STOP/QUEUE/NEXT or
   STOP/QUEUE/RESET command.

   When a node boots, autostart is disabled until you enter the
   ENABLE AUTOSTART command. Typically, you would add this command to
   your site-specific startup command procedure or your queue startup
   command procedure to start a node's autostart queues each time the
   node boots. procedure SYSTARTUP_V5.TEMPLATE.

   For more information about autostart queues, see the Guide to
   Maintaining a VMS System.

/ON_NODE/QUEUES

      /ON_NODE=nodename


   Specifies a node in a VAXcluster. Use this qualifier to enable
   autostart on a node other than the one on which the command is
   entered.

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

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

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

     In this example, the INITIALIZE/QUEUE command creates an
     autostart queue BATCH_1, capable of running on node SATURN.
     The /START qualifier and 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.  $ INITIALIZE/QUEUE/BATCH/START/AUTOSTART_ON=(NEPTUN::,SATURN::)-
       _$ BATCH_1

       $ ENABLE AUTOSTART/QUEUES/ON_NODE=NEPTUN
       $ ENABLE AUTOSTART/QUEUES/ON_NODE=SATURN
          .
          .
          .
       $ STOP/QUEUES/ON_NODE=NEPTUN

     In this example, the INITIALIZE/QUEUE command creates an
     autostart queue BATCH_1. The /START qualifier activates it for
     autostart.

     The first ENABLE AUTOSTART/QUEUES command causes the queue to
     begin executing on node NEPTUN. The second ENABLE AUTOSTART
     /QUEUES command enables autostart on node SATURN to start all
     autostart queues on that node and to start any active autostart
     queue that might fail over to it.

     Later, suppose node NEPTUN must be removed from the cluster.
     The STOP/QUEUES/ON_NODE command stops all queues on node
     NEPTUN, and causes the autostart queue BATCH_1 to fail over
     to node SATURN. Because the queue is active for autostart, and
     because autostart has been enabled on node SATURN, the queue is
     automatically started on that node.
