remove
Deletes stories from the scan queue. It must be the last instruction in a job list task. Applies
to action servers and tx links.
replace
replace <destination queue name> [<distribution code>]
Works like the dup command, except that it updates stories in the destination queue only
when they are already present in the destination queue. It does not add new stories to the
destination queue. Applies to action servers and tx links.
scan
scan <queue name> [priority | all | everyentry]
Specifies the queue monitored by this task. The scan line must come before any instructions
that manipulate stories in the queue, like dup or move. Ten stories are scanned at a time from
each scan queue; adding
priority
to a scan line means all new or modified stories in that
queue are scanned at once. The queue identified in the
scan
command as the priority queue
is always the next queue in the multiple-scan job list, so if it is idle, other queues are
processed. The system checks after every queue to see if new stories are ready for processing
on the queue identified in the scan command. Applies to the action servers and tx links.
The priority option forces the server to interrupt the scan of another queue if the server
receives a mailbox notification. The all option forces the server to scan the entire queue
instead of the limit of 10 stories when there are multiple queues to scan. The everyentry
option forces the server to process each entry in a queue, not just modified entries.

Deleted entries are still controlled by the send-del option.
send-del
send-del
Instructs the server to process story deletions in the scan queue; this is the default behavior.
Use ignore-del to have the server take no action when a story is deleted from a scan queue.
Applies to action servers and tx links.
