I have seen this done in a script that basically keeps a status or
"lock" file when the first stream executes the "bpstart_notify" scripts.
Each time the script runs for each subsequent stream, it checks for the
existence of the "lock" file and it skips the tasks that shouldn't be
run multiple times.  Then you have the "bpend_notify" script run
multiple times, and the last stream to complete removes the lock file.
I have seen this logic used in NetBackup scripts before, but I don't
recall who's scripts they were.  

You might look to see if there's something on the scripting web site.

This is similar to my needs, where I want to send a report immediately
after all 14 streams finish.  Any thoughts?
