How many of them asked for a RSTS/E style detach ?

When I moved to VAX/VMS, I ended up pushing the jobs which needed to
detach to dedicated queues on VMS and then writing a control program to
manage the job via messaging. For the jobs in question, that was the
most appropriate way to port them to VMS.

How did you handle RSTS/E detached jobs ?
