The purpose of OFFLINE and ONLINE  is to *bypass* the automatic checking.
You may decide that, even though it went off by itself, you still want it
to keep running under your control. Or  you may want it to go offline for
independent reasons.

Then  they  would be  a  no-operation  if the  system  is  in a  "normal"
situation: you would say OFFLINE, it  would go offline, find out that the
spool situation  is back to normal,  and go online again.  The purpose of
the thresholds  is to  allow you  not to have  to use  ONLINE/OFFLINE for
spool problems, and the commands are here as a manual override.

A manual  OFFLINE is  permanent until  you issue a  manual ONLINE,  as it
means you don't want your server to  do anything until told to. So if you
had issued a  manual OFFLINE, you must first issue  a manual ONLINE; then
you can reboot the server to go back to automatic mode. If you are in the
hysteresis zone, rebooting the server will also cause activity to resume.
