Jobs that do not require user interaction to run can be processed
as batch jobs. A batch job typically is a low priority job and can require
a special system environment in which to run.
Submit a batch job
Since batch jobs are typically low priority jobs that require a special system environment in which to run (such as running at night) they are placed in batch job queues. In the job queue the batch job receives a run time schedule and a priority. To submit a job to a batch job queue, you use the character-based interface and one of two commands.
Start a batch job that is waiting in the job queue
Occasionally you might need to force a job to start immediately. While moving the job to a job queue that is not busy is the most efficient method to accomplish this, there are some other methods that you can use.
