Starting and stopping an individual queue.

[wainwrr]

Here's the thing. We're running Xe on Intel. What I want to have is a queue defined for overnight jobs that accepts jobs during the day but doesn't run them until "overnight". The best idea I have to date is to create a queue as ususal but not have any kernel to service it and then at some finite time -say 7pm- to update the job records to change the queue they're in. (this could be with a database job or I suppose a UBE running in the scheduler). What would be more elegant would be to have a queue that only ran in the overnight slot but accepted jobs htrough the day. However, I can't see how to achieve this.

Your help would be much appreciated.

Richard.

why not have a queue called QNIGHT for example, and allow jobs to be sent to
it throughout the day, then at night schedule a sql script to update the job
queue table and move the QNIGHT jobs into one of your active queues?
