Wanda,
I will explain what the situation is.
This is the scene at my workplace.
Present client base: 90% MAC 10% PCs.
Present Backup : Retrospect.
This backup software has been set up to notify the User after the Backup is 
done by Popping up a screen or message on the screen which says " You were 
successfully backed up".
New Config: TSM Server 4.1 on Win 2000 Server.
Clients 80% MACs(v 8.,9.) and 20% PCs (98/NT4.0/2000)
How can I do the same with TSM using the Postschedcmd?
Can anyone give me a detailed step by step procedure for doing this because I 
tried setting up the postschedcmd and am not getting anywhere.

Regards,

Rajesh Oak
