Purpose

Use the quit command to exit obtool. This command is identical in functionality to the exit command.

Syntax

quit::=

q•uit [ --force/-f ]

Semantics

--force/-f

Exits obtool even if there are pending backup or restore requests. Specifying --force means that pending backup and restore requests are lost.

Normally, you cannot quit obtool when there are pending requests. You should submit pending requests to the scheduler by specifying --go on the backup or restore commands.

Example

Example 2-106 uses the --force option to quit obtool when a backup job is pending.

Example 2-106 Quitting obtool

ob> backup --dataset fullbackup.ds
ob> quit
Error: one or more backup requests are pending.  Use "quit --force" to
       quit now, or send the requests to the scheduler with "backup --go".
ob> quit --force
