VMS batch jobs

[Guest]

Bruce, you can submit VMS batch jobs by appending a "b" to the "&" that
signifies a batch job. E.g.:

cl> task params params &b # for a normal batch job
cl> cl < script.cl &b # for a script batch job

Or, if your VMS system has multiple kinds of batch job queues AND your
IRAF installer set them up accordingly in hlib$irafuser.com, you can
submit to specific batch job queues as:

cl> task &f # if you have a high-prio Fast queue
cl> task &s # for a low-prio Slow queue

You can examine hlib$irafuser.com to see the local site VMS translation
names for the queues BATCH, FAST, and SLOW, then from VMS do:

$ show queue/batch/all

to see the names of the local queues. (I assume you know how to escape
from the CL with "!" as in:

cl> !show queue/batch/all
