My soulution until now is to disable and enable the group with
a script invoked by cron with nwadmin.
No there is no way to do this. The NetWorker scheduler is not meant to
be particularly clever, it is best at running a group once every 24
hours, it does not excel at anything else.
If you are going to run a cron job, surely it would be more
straightforward to use the cron job to run the group, rather than having
a complex system where you have two different cron jobs to enable and
disable the group. I believe in KISS.
TIP: it is often useful to start a job using nsradmin rather than
running the savegrp command - this way you have the option of stopping
the group from the NMC.
