I'm using multiple data streams with media multiplexing. Apparently -w is 
not reliable.

But if i use -L 

I should be able to monitor the file to check for:
Client completed sending data for backup

Then what i can do is use /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bperror to 
check for errors.

What i'm doing is writing a backup script to make sure that the Progress 
Database servers are down, backup the system, check to make sure the 
backup was successful and startup all the databases. Then i must jump to 
another server and do the same.

Fun eh?

well there are several ways.  Are you looking to 
automate this?

bpdbjobs  has several ways to viewing if a job is 
complete.

The notify scripts will do "something" when a job 
finishes.  That something is up to you, if you want an 
email or update a file, etc.

ofcourse there's always echo $? for the status of the 
last command (in this case bpbackup)
