Re: [Veritas-bu] modify backup_exit

Mark,

The exit status of the backup is passed in as $5 to the script. So, if you want emails only for jobs ending in a non-zero exit status, you can modify the line

cat $OUTF | mailx -s "Backup on $1 - $5" someone_who_cares

to 

if [ "$5" -gt 0 ]
then
    cat $OUTF | mailx -s "Backup on $1 - $5" someone_who_cares
fi

Hope this helps.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] modify backup_exit_notify.sh script

My shell scripting is shaky at best so I’m hoping that one of you may be able to help me out.

I’m wondering how I would go about editing the /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/backup_exit_notify.sh script so that it doesn’t inform me via email of successfully completed backups. Basically I’m only interested in backups that complete with a 1 or higher.

I have modified our bp.conf to keep 3 months of jobs in the activity monitor so will be able to check here for successful backups. I really only need to be informed if a backup has failed.

Thanks in advance,
