Steve - Run your backup from a script and have the script executing by making
the schedule action=cmd. Here is a
sample from the script that runs executes backup agent (dtibackup).  You could
also use your TSM commands as easily.
Hope this is what you are looking for:

........snip......
if dtibackup -level ${LEVEL} -quiet -noprompt -debug -debugfile
/tmp/dbg.dmartbkup -to adsm.bkdmart >${NULL}
then
  end=$(date +"%y%m%d.%H%M")
  echo "Backup of ${APPLICATION} was Successful [${end}]" >>${LOG}
  ret=0
else
  end=$(date +"%y%m%d.%H%M")
  echo "Backup of ${APPLICATION} Failed [${end}]" >>${LOG}
  MSG="The Backup of ${APPLICATION} instance of Informix"
  MSG="${MSG} on ${HOSTNAME} has Failed..."
  echo "${MSG}" | mailx -s "Informix ${APPLICATION} problem" ${ADMIN}
  ret=1

How would I send specific events (i.e. failed scheduled events, db backup
failure, etc.) through Notes or sendmail to an e-mail address? I'm running
the TSM sever on AIX 4.3.3.
