stopping ontape

Hi all, When I run a ontape -s -L 0 and then by mistake I run ontape -s -L 2, instance generate an af file, but aditionally last ontape never ends until I send a CTRL+C. I reviewed that are ontape threads that remaind running for certain perdio of time. Is there any tip to avoid this mistake? And another question. Is there a chance to make a clean abort for ontape? Because if you run ontape -s -L 0 and you loose your terminal session. it happens like above. Thank you for your help.

I would do 2 kills: one from the OS standpoint, and the other one from the database standpoint. OS: of course ctrl-c and/or ps -eaf | grep ontape, then kill -9, just make sure no more "ontape" process out there. DB: onstat -g ntt | grep ontape, onmode -z on the sessions if there is any left. ----- Original Message ---- From: PAULO RAFAEL PADILLA VELAZQUEZ <rafaelpadilla@grupomayan.com> To: ids@iiug.org Sent: Tuesday, February 26, 2008 2:34:29 PM Subject: stopping ontape [11438] Hi all, When I run a ontape -s -L 0 and then by mistake I run ontape -s -L 2, instance generate an af file, but aditionally last ontape never ends until I send a CTRL+C.
