[Info-vax] unspooling device

[Volker Halle]

Phillip,

capture the dismount message on the console terminal during shutdown.
It should tell you, WHY the disk cannot be dismounted. If you have a
SET DEV/SPOOLED=disk device: in your startup procedure, you must issue
a SET DEV/NOSPOOL device: during shutdown.

You don't need to stop the queue in SYSHUTDWN.COM, because this is
done by SHUTDOWN.COM itself.

Maybe there is another device spooled to that disk ? You only need to
spool a device to a queue, if you have an application, that writes
DIRECTLY to the terminal device and you want the output to be handled
as a real print job, because that device is shared with other print
jobs.

Volker.
