Hi: This is more a Novell qestion than a TSM question, and simply involves how 
to have a Novell script wait for the completion of one command before 
initiating the next.

Background:
We use TSM to backup groupwise / novell. The groupwise admin has said the 
restores of GW are unworkable ( essentially because one server is so large 
compared to the others). In order to be able to get a daily 'point  in time' 
restore of the GW directories, he wants to do archive / retrieves on a daily 
basis.

This particular archive class goes to a stg pool that is cartridge based and 
the client is limited to one mount point. Since the admin is not too familiar 
with the Novell environment, he has been guessing at the completion time of 
these archives and scheduling four archives, when the second will start before 
the 1st completes. The 2nd does not get a mountpoint and the 4 archives never 
complete.

So, for Novell people. Is there a way to script the 4 archive commands, where 
each waits for the previous one to complete?
