[mythtv-users] Queuing up a "suspended" transcoding job?

I want to queue a transcoding job that won't be executed until
some time in the future.  

I've been looking at the jobqueue table and I think I mostly
know how to queue up a job, but there are a couple things I
haven't quite figured out. Specifically, I can't find any
description of what the cmds and status states really mean.

 1) What's the "normal" initial state for the command and
    status fields?  Should they be set to RUN and UNKNOWN,
    respectively?

 2) If I don't want the job to run, what should I set the cmds
    and flags fields to when I create the job?  My guesses are:

               cmds  flags
               STOP  UNKNOWN
               STOP  ABORTED
               STOP  CANCELLED               

    And then when I later want to enable the job, do I set the
    cmds field to RUN or RESTART or ?.
