Hello,

you can use the "override client option"  field in the schedule definition
GUI to specify -presched and -postsched scripts unique to a schedule.

Ex:  -preschedulecmd=/admin/pre_hvev0299
-postschedulecmd=/admin/post_hvev0299    for UNIX
   -preschedulecmd=d:\DB-Backup\scripts\qipbackup.cmd     for NT
   -preschedulecmd=d:\DB-Backup\scripts\qipbackup.cmd     for NT

We use this for Backup schedules
