ontape -c
Top Cat asked how to properly stop ontape -c, continuous logical log backup, and whether CTRL-C was right. Art Kagel and Sergio Lopez confirmed CTRL-C is the normal way. Kagel added to make sure no log backup is in progress first, for example a prior log not yet marked B. Solved.

When using 'ontape -c', for continuos backup of logical logs, what is the
proper way to terminate the command? Is it simply a CTRL-C?
Yes. Just make sure there is not a log backup in progress (ie if the
current log is brand new empty and the prior log is not yet marked
with a "B" check the drive lights first).

Yes, that's the normal way to do it.
