If you want them all to run serially, omit all the 'Parallel' and 'serial'
statements, and ensure the commands have a 'wait=yes'.

We have this script called by our fullbackup script, which itself runs as
part of an admin schedule which backs up the storage pools, prepares the DR
plan and backsup the TSM database..

Thanks again Robert & Adam,

Adam,

What if I don't  want any of these commands to run parallel
can I just set them up to run serially. Also, How would I
schedule these commands to run the script?...I assume
I can use the admin schedule commands to do this?
