1  CANCEL
   Cancels wakeup requests for a specified process, including wakeup
   requests scheduled with either the RUN command or the $SCHDWK
   system service.

   Requires one of the following:

   o  Ownership of the process.

   o  GROUP privilege to cancel scheduled wakeup requests for
      processes in the same group but not owned by you.

   o  WORLD privilege to cancel scheduled wakeup requests for any
      process in the system.

   Format

     CANCEL  [[node-name::]process-name]
 

2  Parameters
 

node-name::

   The name of the node on which the specified process is running.

   You cannot specify a node name on a different OpenVMS Cluster
   system from the current process.
 

process-name

   The name of the process for which wakeup requests are to be
   canceled. The process name can have up to 15 alphanumeric
   characters.

   The specified process must be in the same group as the current
   process.
 

2  Qualifier
 

/IDENTIFICATION

      /IDENTIFICATION=pid

   Identifies the process by its process identification (PID). You
   can omit leading zeros when you specify the PID.
 

2  Examples

   1.$ CANCEL CALENDAR

     The CANCEL command in this example cancels a wakeup request for
     a process named CALENDAR (which continues to hibernate until it
     is deleted with the STOP command).

   2.$ RUN/SCHEDULE=14:00 STATUS
     %RUN-S-PROC_ID, identification of created process is 0013012A
        .
        .
        .
     $ CANCEL/IDENTIFICATION=13012A

     The RUN command in this example creates a process to execute
     the image STATUS. The process hibernates and is scheduled to be
     awakened at 14:00. Before the process is awakened, the CANCEL
     command cancels the wakeup request.

   3.$ RUN/PROCESS_NAME=LIBRA/INTERVAL=1:00    LIBRA
     %RUN-S-PROC_ID, identification of created process is 00130027
        .
        .
        .
     $ CANCEL LIBRA
     $ STOP LIBRA

     The RUN command in this example creates a subprocess named
     LIBRA to execute the image LIBRA.EXE at hourly intervals.

     Subsequently, the CANCEL command cancels the wakeup request.
     The process continues to exist, but in a state of hibernation,
     until the STOP command deletes it.
