[Info-vax] Are queue manager updates written to disk immediately ?

[abrsvc]

>From the IDSM (V1.5) Chapter 30 page 1078

"... the job controller indicates that the proces should be terminated, LOGINOUT terminates is through the following steps:

1) It write a logout message to the logfile.
2) It closes the logfile.
3) If the logfile is to be printed, then LOGINOUT requests the $SNDJBCW system  service again, this time to queue the file to a print queue.
4) It then requests the $EXIT system service from executive mode.  After any executive mode exit handlers have performed their work, the $exit system service requests the $DELPRC system service, which removes teh process from the system.


Page 1079 lists the work for process deletion:

-> All resources allocated to the process must be returned to the system.
-> Accounting information must be sent to the job controller.
-> Any subprocesses of the process being deleted must be deleted.
-> etc...

I would guess that your process was in the middle of the above when the system went down.  Until the process is actually deleted, I would suspect that the queue manager is not informed of its completion.
