You might want to put in a loop after the
stop that checks to see if all processes are actually stopped (e.g. check
“bpps –a” output) and run <installdir>/ bin/goodies/bp.kill_all to kill any remaining if it finds them and
repeat until it does (with sleeps between to give all processes time to
die). You may need to put in a routine to make it page you (send email to
your cell phone if you don’t have a pager) if all processes haven’t
died after a certain number of attempts.

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
