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]
