I complained quite a while ago about this (from a bit different perspective -
in the SYSV lpsched-based environment I'd previously known, it's quite
possible (for the administrator) to release one job while the queue is
stopped ("disabled" in that environment)). Patrick basically said that
of course releasing a job would restart the queue. So I guess that yes,
that's the way it's supposed to work - not the way I'd like it to work,
though.
Given that he seems to be pretty busy, I'd say this isn't likely to change
any time soon even if we could convince him. And given that it's been
working this way, if it changed it would probably break something someone's
doing.
