I usually just do ...

echo "/usr/bin/dsmc sched > /dev/null 2>&1" | at now

There should be a soft link in /usr/bin/dsmc to the long, ugly path
version, and you might want to set passwordaccess generate (and do a
manual command, like "dsmc q sched" first, to generate the stored
password) so you don't have to have it in your command line
(available in "ps" listings, etc.)

        It sounds like the 'nohup' command on Solaris 8 now behaves the same
as AIX 4.3.3. It is looking for additional input from stdin. Try this and
see if it works :
nohup /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsmc sched -pass=<password> >/dev/null
2>&1 </dev/null &

        the "</dev/null" is the only significant change.

 Folks,
   I have just installed TSM version 3.7.1 on my Sun OS ver.
 5.8 box.  When I
 start the dsm daemon, it quickly dies but gives me no errors.
  I've tried
 several variations of;
  nohup /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsmc sched -pass=<password> 2>
 /dev/null &
 Each time the daemon starts and then dies without giving me an error.
   What am I doing wrong?
 TIA,
