How can I disable a queue / class without losing jobs?

Issue: How can I disable a queue / class without losing jobs?

Symptom: Some sites wish to disable queues for a number of days before retiring the queue/class.

Solution: To disable a queue and preserve running jobs set the following in TORQUE. "set queue gpu enabled = False" Sites can also run "set queue gpu max_user_queuable=0".
