How to stop ontape -c

Hi there, I am running IDS on an NT system and whenever I use my application I need to start the logging. For that purpose I open a DOS-box with all the parameters set and start ontape -c. This works fine so far. But how do I stop it ? When I press the close button (on the upper right side of the window) then a dialog appears and asks me if I want to shutdown that process. I say yes and when I want to start ontape -c again (after not shutting down the system) it tells me start there is still an ontape process running. Where did I go wrong ? Thank you for your help in advance.

Not sure if this would helps. there are some UNIX tools ported over to Windows, and one of them that you can use to check whether the process is still running inspite of "Ctrl+C" is "ps" With these utilities, you can try "ps | grep onbar" to see if the process is still running. If it is, then use "kill <process_id>" to terminate the onbar before running ontape again. can find the UNIX tools in www.winfiles.com (freeware). rgds Steven Frank Psotka wrote: > > Daniel Willems wrote: > > > > We use <ctrl> c > > But that has the same effect as using the close-button. > > > > Frank Psotka <Frank.Psotka@daa-bw.de> wrote in message > > news:3884434D.B1A8B107@daa-bw.de... > > > Hi there, > > > > > > I am running IDS on an NT system and whenever I use my application I > > > need to start the logging.
