Dirk, 

Always start dsmcad from inittab like this:

Cad:2345:once:/usr/bin/dsmcad

Be sure to have an entry MANAGEDSERVICES WEBCLIENT SCHEDULE in the
dsm.sys file.
Works for me (approx. 15 Linux systems in TSM).

Met vriendelijke groet, With kind regards,
Richard van Denzel.

Subject: linux dsmcad problem

Hi,

TSM 5.3.2.3 server
TSM 5.3.2.0 client on redhat linux

I start the dsmcad process with the rc.d script from the technote. The
problem is that the schedule only works once. After the backup is
finished the client scheduler stops but never gets called again,
although the dsmcad process is still running. During the next backup
period the tsm server says that the session with the client timed out.

The last entry in the dsmsched.log is:
03/07/2006 00:52:31 Scheduler has been stopped.

The last entry in the dsmwebcl.log is:
03/07/2006 00:52:32 (dsmcad) Waiting to be contacted by the server.

But nothing happens. When I restart the dsmcad during the backup period,
the backup immediately starts:

03/07/2006 22:52:53 (dsmcad) Dsmcad is working in    Schedule   mode.
03/07/2006 22:52:53 (dsmcad) Command will be executed in 1 minute.
03/07/2006 22:52:53 (dsmcad) Time remaining until execution:
Executing scheduled command now.

Any ideas?
