Thanks for all your responses.
After a bit of help from our resident scripting expert I’ve
come up with the following and thought I would share in case anyone else needs
to restart NBU on a regular basis.
#!/usr/bin/ksh
## This script restarts NetBackup Once A Week To
Try And Avoid The Master Server Crashing ##
#
nbpemreq -suspend_scheduling
t_p=`bpdbjobs -summary | egrep nbumaster01 | grep -v grep
| awk '{print $4}'`
while [t_p -ne "0"]
do
t_p=`bpdbjobs -summary | egrep nbumaster01 | grep -v grep
| awk '{print $4}'`
sleep 10
done
/etc/init.d/netbackup stop
echo "NetBackup services have been stopped" |
mailx -s "NetBackup services have been stopped" email AT email DOT com
sleep 120
/etc/init.d/netbackup start
echo "NetBackup services have been restarted" |
mailx -s "NetBackup services have been restarted" email AT email DOT com
I’m going to run it as a cron job at 2pm every
Sunday.
Thanks again,

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Process which runs while a job is running
I am wanting to write a script to place in the crontab of
our master server which will restart the NBU services once a week. I plan
to have the script issue nbpemreq –suspend_scheduling but then need a way
for it to check for any backups still running before issuing
/etc/init.d/netbackup stop.
Does anyone know if there is a process I can have the script
grep for which won’t be there once all the backups have completed ?
I don’t want to stop the NBU processes if there are backups still
running. We do plan to have the script run during a period when no
backups are running but we all know how backups can randomly overrun their
expected windows !!
In case anyone is curious, our master server has some kind
of semi regular memory issue which arises about once every 10 days or so and
can be resolved by restarting the NBU services. My plan is to proactively
do this on a weekly basis in the hope that it will stop the master server
rejecting connections due to a lack of swap (like it did last night during my
daughters softball game !!).
Thanks
