Andy,

There is no need to telnet, to initiate a pre-backup process.

Lookup notification scripts ( bpstart_notify ) in the manual.  This will do
what you are looking for.  And by using built-in netbackup functions too.

regards,

James.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Scripting question


I know this isn't entirely a NBU question, but.....

I have recently moved back from the dark side (I'm setting up
NBU under UNIX, after previously using NT/W2K).

I am setting up a script to telnet from Tru64 into a W2K server
(running Telnet server), to run a pre-backup process.

Does anyone have an idea how I can pass the USERID and PASSWORD
from the Tru64 server to the W2K server using this script?

When replying, please bare in mind you are talking to a UNIX virgin.


Thanks,

Andy Skates
