DB2 temporarily prevent log files from being written to the archive log dir?

DB2 11.5.7.0 on Linux We've got a cron job that does: cd ${ARCH_LOC} tar -czvf /path/to-backups/${DB}_ARCHIVELOG_${NOW}.tar.gz S*.LOG && rm -vf S*.LOG >> ${SLOG} ISTM that there's a flaw her, since any archived log files written to $ARCH_LOC while the tar is running will get rmed but not saved. Thus, is there any way to suspend the **archiving** of log files, and then resume it after the tar ... && rm completes?
