VMS Help  —  VQM
   VQM is a utility that performs the following functions:

   o  Graphically displays existing system queues, giving type and status
      information.  Allows starting, pausing, stopping, and resetting
      queues with one keystroke.

   o  Graphically displays information about jobs in a queue.  Allows
      holding, releasing, requeueing, putting on wait, taking off wait,
      and deleting jobs with one keystroke.  The information displayed
      consists of job name, username of the person who submitted the job,
      entry number, current job status, size, and percent completed
      (the last two are not applicable for batch queues).

   Format:

     VQM [queue-name]

1  –  Parameters

   queue-name

   This optional parameter is the name of the queue you want to analyze.
   If you don't specify a queue name, the program will display the list
   of all existing queues.

2  –  Qualifiers

2.1    /CONFIRM

   This qualifier will tell the program to ask for confirmation of
   all commands in the queue display and any deletion commands in
   the job display.

2.2    /TYPE=(queue-type[,...])

   Controls the selection of the types of queues to be analyzed.
   Parenthesis can be omited if you specify only one queue type.
   You can specify any of the following keywords:

   [NO]BATCH        All batch queues
   [NO]PRINTER      All print queues
   [NO]SERVER       All server queues
   [NO]TERMINAL     All terminal queues
   GENERIC          Select all generic queues if used alone, or generic
                    queues of types specified by other keywords.

   By default, if you omit the qualifier, /TYPE=(batch, printer, server,
   terminal) is assumed.

   updates jobs in "some-queue-name". The /CONFIRM qualifier will
   ensure confirmation for any job deletion commands.
