RE: power down the system

Mark,

These variables are controlled by the command parameters.  If you
specify *IMMED, then there is no wait time.  If you specify *CNTRLD,
then the system will wait for the number of seconds specified in the
delay parameter until forcing all jobs closed.  During *IMMED
processing, or when the delay time has been met, then the system value
QPWRDWNLMT will determine how much time the system will wait for those
jobs to end.  I'm not sure what you mean by 'ignore user tasks', can you
clarify?

In most cases, you can't watch much because your interactive session
will end early in the process.  The history log will maintain a clear
record of the ending of the jobs in the system.  I don't recall much in
the way of tasks (processes) ending.

HTH,

Andy Nolen-Parkhouse
