Michael,

Yes it is a pain.  That's the way it works "now".  One thing I haven't tried
is simply shutting down services and restarting them.  Next time you have
that issue, try services.  Happy hunting!

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Killing/deleting hung jobs with NBU 4.5?


Somehow we've got a number of jobs that show "Active" in the NetBackup
administrator, but they aren't really running any more and can't be
cancelled or deleted.  Apparently the process died (the PID associated with
the job no longer exists).  With NetBackup 3.4, we could clean these up by
removing the files from the \DB\Jobs directory.  Is there an equivalent way
to do this with NetBackup 4.5?  The only way I've found to clean them up so
far is to reboot the machine, which is a pain.

If it matters, this is on a Windows 2000 master server.

Thanks,
-Michael
