Here is how I do it.  The "select * from processes where process='Backup
Storage Pool' will check for running processes or a given name; If none
are found than "rc_notfound" will be true and the section backup: will
be run; other wise I delete a tmp admin scheduled called ckproc and
redefine it for 10 minutes in the future to run the same command . 

You should be able to work through the logic here; unfortunately we are
very limited with the things we can do with TSM command schedules.


Hope this helps,

We are interested using a script or macro to control our admin schedules
instead of using the Central Scheduler.  We are having trouble figuring
out
how to detect that diskpool migrations are done so we can start backup
copypool processes. Is anyone doing something similar to what we are
wanting
to do or have some examples they are willing to share?
