Perhaps should make that a little clearer
I'm trying to run this from the unix command line so I don't get into the
dsmc client prompt. Also, I'm not using id= in the line - I'm stating the
node "node=bla" which I like to do so I enure I get the right node.
(Version 2 !!). I'm not actually having a problem with the "q arc" command.
It's running any ADSM client command from the Unix command line

Cheers
Craig

1. Check your syntax.
2. You don't need id and password in the script to access client
information.
    Try using the following command in your script:
      q arc "*"   <= you need the " before and after the *
      -or-
      q arc /filesystem_name_u_archived

Hope that helps.

   Hello

   ADSM Server V2.1.5.18
   Client 2.1.0.2

   I'm trying to create a script using dsmc like the many I have using
   dsmadmc
   but it doesn't work.
   eg.
   dsmadmc -id=bla -password=bla 'q db'  - works fine

   If I try to do similar with dsmc .
   eg
   dsmc -node=bla -password=bla 'q archive * ' - does not look at the
   command.
   I just get the dsmc> prompt.

   I can pipe the command into dsmc
   eg
   echo 'q archive * ' | dsmc -node=bla etc
   but if I get to complicated with the command it doesn't like it - and
   its a
   pretty ugly way of doing it anyway.

   Surely there must be a simple way of doing this that works. Any
   advise out
   there.

   Thanks

   Craig
