My recollection is that the queues are stopped before SYSHUTDWN.COM is run.

Maybe something like this in SYSHUTDWN.COM:

$!
$DEV_LOOP:
$ next_dev = f$device("*",66)
$ if next_dev .eqs. "" then goto END_DEV_LOOP
$ if f$getdvi(next_dev,"SPL") .eqs. "TRUE"
$   then
$     write sys$output "''next_dev' is spooled ..."
$     set device/NOSPOOL 'next_dev'
$   endif
$ goto DEV_LOOP
$END_DEV_LOOP:
$ exit
