I am also interested in doing this. If process numbers do not repeat
themselves,
this should also work?????
Forgive any syntax errors, I have not run this.


----------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
#!/bin/sh
chk4done ()
{
while true ; do
        q proc $1 >/dev/null 2>/dev/null
        if [ $? -eq 11 ];then  # 11 = no process found
                break
        fi
        sleep 10
done
}
CMD=`checkin library DLT2500 search=yes status=private | grep "Process
number" | awk '{print $4}'`
chk4done $CMD
CMD=`delete volhist todate=today-7 type=dbbackup | grep "Process number"
| awk '{print $4}'`
chk4done $CMD
CMD=`backup db devclass=DLT type=full vol=BACK01 | grep "Process number"
| awk '{print $4}'`
chk4done $CMD
CMD=`checkout libvol DLT2500 BACK01 remove=no | grep "Process number" |
awk '{print $4}'`
chk4done $CMD
