13.2.4 Removing a Task
Information about a task remains on the system unless it is manually removed using the
removetask command and the task ID as follows:
The specified task ID and any information associated with it are removed from the system.
However, task IDs are not recycled, so the next task started on the system will use the next
whole integer that has not already been used (for example,
455). Task ID numbers roll over at
9999.
13.2.5 Cancelling a Task
For all tasks except remote copy volume synchronizations, you can cancel an active task using
the
canceltask command and the task ID as follows:
Information for the task will still be available via the
showtask command, where the status of
the task will now appear as
Cancelled.
NOTE: To cancel the waittask, use CTRL+C. This stops the waittask command
and returns a command prompt, but does not impact the task that is running in
the background.
