We just wrote a script to do a process listing for any "savegrp" still
running on the server and weather it was still running when it attempted to
start it again after a 24 hours period.  If it does then we log in to find
out what is hanging up the group.

Hi Darren,

Hmmm, true.  Then how about 'session client name:' of the 'NSR' type?  That
does work w/ client-initiated backups as I just tried it.  It is a hidden
attribute but it still shows if speficially requested to be shown.

Regards,
