The question is when I attempt to shutdown NetBackup I get 57 lines of:
Waiting for active bpsched/bptm processes to terminate

How can I tell which bpsched/bptm process that it is waiting on.
How can I tell if the bpched/bptm process it is waiting on will
eventually terminate via the shutdown.
 
It's kind of like the question "How many licks does it take to get to
the center of a Tootsie Roll pop"? no one knows. 
No one knows the answer to this question because we all get impatient
and just start doing a mass kill -9 on any bpsched/bptm we see.
 
I am asking this to see if there may be a better way than 
# kill -9 `bpps | awk '{print $2}'`
 
The cleanup after the kill gets annoying and also is very time
consuming.
logging onto the ACSLS server and doing dismounts of the tapedrives.
yuk...

not sure what you are after, but what about stopping all services /
processes or rebooting perhaps??
Was there any more info to add to the message? Or am I missing
something?
