You have to put all the groups in there that you want to exist after the
update. You can get the current atributes with a print. Use text parsing
(use your favorite utility) to extract the portion you need. Combine it with
the new stuff in a variable and then update.

Subject: nsradmin and pools

I'm trying to script adding clients to our backup server using nsradmin.
I'm having problems with the NSR pool resource.   I have a pool named Backup
that already has a group named "dummy1" in it.  I'm trying to add dummy2 to
the Backup pool, however when I run an update, it's doing a replace.    Does
anyone know how/if I can add a group to a pool without losing the existing
groups entries using nsradmin?


$cat update_pool
nsradmin -i -<<EOF
. type: NSR pool; name: Backup
show name
show groups
print
EOF

nsradmin -i -<<EOF
. type: NSR pool; name: Backup
update groups: dummy2;
EOF

nsradmin -i -<<EOF
. type: NSR pool; name: Backup
show name
show groups
print
EOF



Notice after the update, only the dummy2 group exists.

$./update_pool

                        name: Backup;
                      groups: dummy1;
