- Lines: 20
-
- I've always considered $P to be a pointless command. It actually
- causes trouble if executed by mistake, which is why current releases
- of JES2 put up a non-rollable "system draining" message. There is no
- need to $P before $PJES2.
-
- Other people have suggested what to check for, but not given the
- commands:
- $DA check for running jobs.
- $DA,S check for started tasks.
- ignore SYSLOG and INIT, shut down everything else.
- it doesn't hurt to $PI, but it doesn't matter if you
- forget to do so.
- $DU,STA (STA => "started") check for devices which need to be
- drained. JES2 will not shut down if *anything* appears
- in the $DU,STA display.
-
- I have a started task which issues the commands to stop all the
- standard started tasks. If $P is done, this task can't be started.
