But if you are ever in the situation where you *do* have spoolers running, you can always do: :DTCCNTRL FUNC=SHUTDOWN FORCED=Y This will force the spoolers to stop, close your spool queues, and stop DTS. Very handy to be able to do it all with one quick command. :-) Patrick ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Patrick Santucci HPe3000 Systems Administrator Cornerstone Brands, Inc. * To join/leave the list, search archives, change list settings, * * etc., please visit http://raven.utc.edu/archives/hp3000-l.html *
