Well, there are a few things I've tried in the past...
1- Set the wakeup interval to 999 minutes... that works if you're only going
to leave the test server up for a few hours.
2- Change all of the classes to inactive:
(Standard disclaimers apply)
===
#!/bin/sh
BPCLLIST=/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpcllist
BPCLINFO=/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpclinfo
for CLASS in `$BPCLLIST`
do
$BPCLINFO $CLASS -modify -inactive
done
===
That should take care of anything getting scheduled...
