      We have AIX clients and when my activity log shows my server was
unable to contact the client,
      I check on the client to see,  if the scheduler is up by issuing the
following
       ps -ef | grep dsm
       if I then see the process "dsmc sched" I know the scheduler is
currently running,
       If its not running
           I check the log files to see if I can determine why it went down
and
           check the inittab file to make sure the adsm scheduler cmd will
be executed after a reboot
        After fixing any problems I restart the scheduler on the client
with
        nohup path/dsmc sched &

Subject:  is it running ??





Is there a way to tell if the ADSM backup or archive (schedule) is
currently
running by using the UNIX "ps" command ?
or is there any other way to tell at all.
