Defines the default status for a task/family to be assigned to the node when the begin(CLI) command is issued. By default any node get a queued status when you use begin on a suite.
defstatus is useful in preventing suites from running automatically once begun or in setting tasks complete so they can be run selectively.
For suites anything other than suspended is void. The status of a family reflects the status of its children.
For a family defstatus can be either "suspended", "queued" or "complete". A family with defstatus complete means that all tasks and families are marked complete without running them.
