Canceling Operations in Interactive Mode

Issue the bak kill command to cancel an operation. Use the bak jobs command to determine the job ID number of the operation to be killed. No privileges are required to cancel an operation with the bak kill command. The command can be issued only in interactive mode. (See Using the Interactive Interface for more information about interactive mode.)

bak> kill {jobID | dump_set}

The jobID argument is the unique job ID number of the operation to be canceled; the dump_set argument is the name of the operation in the form fileset_family_name.dump_level if it is a dump. Use either argument to indicate the operation to be canceled.
