Description:
------------
VQM (Visual Queue Manager) is a program which creates a graphical
interface for working with queues and jobs on VMS. The /CONFIRM
qualifier makes it safe to use for operators and system managers.
The /TYPE qualifier speeds the analysis for systems with large number
of queues. Please consult the VQM.HLP file for more information.
In addition the following keys are defined:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ctrl-A Start Put on Wait (After)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
When a user presses a letter key in the Queue Display, a random queue name
search will be performed.
Start Queue: Permits the starting of jobs in a queue
Stop Queue: Prevents the starting of jobs in a queue
Pause Queue: Pauses the execution of current jobs in a queue
and prevents the starting of jobs in that queue
Reset Queue: 1) Terminates and deletes all executing jobs that
are not restartable
2) Terminates and requeues all executing jobs that
are restartable
3) Stops the queue
When the "After" option in the Job Display is used, an action equivalent
to "set entry/after" is executed. However, if a job was held before the
activation of the "After" option, it will be automatically released into
the "Waiting" mode.
Please consult VMS manuals for more information on queue and job
management.
Privs. required:
