Global AutoHold has been an option since v4.x and since r11, this has been configurable in config.$AUTOSERV or Admin GUI.
If this is 11.3.6 SP2, onecan have an initial status (on_hold) for new jobs.
In WCC 11.4 SP1, one can put machine ONLINE/OFFLINE using the machine widget.
When machine is OFFLINE, jobs go to PEND_MACH(PE) status by default. However, in 11.3.5/6 one can set the job status to change to (ON_ICE for example) when the machine is OFFLINE. This is configured in config.$AUTOSERV or Admin GUI (GlobalPendMachStatus or something like that) .
