VMS Help  —  DEFRAGMENT  ABORT
    The ABORT subcommand terminates the execution of the script or
    scripts specified in the command line.

    Format

      DEFRAGMENT ABORT  { script-name[,...] } [ /QUALIFIERS ]

1  –  Parameters

 script-name

    The script-name parameter is the name of the script to be
    aborted. You can use wildcards in the script-name specification.
    Use an asterisk (*) to take action on all scripts on the
    VMScluster system. Use a percent sign (%) to match a single
    character in the script-name specification.

2  –  Restrictions

    o  You cannot use the script-name parameter with the /ALL
       qualifier.

3  –  Qualifiers

3.1    /AFTER

       /AFTER={time}
       /NOAFTER (default)

          The /AFTER qualifier keeps the script from being
          aborted until after the specified time.

          You can specify time as either an absolute time or
          as a combination of absolute and delta times. For
          complete information on specifying time values, see
          the VMS DCL Concepts Manual.

3.2    /ALL

       /ALL
       /NOALL (default)

          The /ALL qualifier aborts all currently executing
          scripts across the system. This qualifier is
          functionally equivalent to using an asterisk (*)
          for the script-name parameter.

4  –  Examples

    The following examples show how the ABORT command functions.

    1.

    $ DEFRAGMENT ABORT MY_SCRIPT/AFTER=16:30

    This command aborts MY_SCRIPT after 16:30 on the day this command
    is submitted.

    2.

    $ DEFRAGMENT ABORT/ALL

    This command immediately aborts all currently executing scripts
    in the entire system.
