You might find something useful from a quick
Google search for something like:

vms OR openvms shutdown batch detached

vms OR openvms shutdown batch detached

~vms shutdown batch detached

~ will show all equivallent strings for vms (also vax)

BTW : we do our shutdown detached. This gives a log file and doesn't require a batch queue.

Wim,
I could not find the stuff on one of my systems, but what you have is just about what we used to bring down a system. I'd use it to have my system ready for field services to do pm's early mornings.
