George,
If you only have one group that clones to your clonepool you will know that it
is ready when the group (with auto cloning on) is ready. This could be
captured by a mail filter or by polling if the group is still running. (only
mail fitering will however catch errors in the group). If you have multiple
groups cloning to your pool it becomes a lot trickier.
Scripting like:
mminfo -q'pool=ORIGINALPOOL,copies=2,!ssrecycle,!incomplete' -r'ssid,cloneid'
would be the start of something like this assuming you want to clone from the
original and not from the first clone pool. Be warned that its not easy to
program for all possible errors of the original cloning so a good reporter on
the first clone is also needed.
mminfo -q'pool=ORIGINALPOOL,savetime > 12 hours
ago,!ssrecycle,!incomplete,copies=1' -a -v would give you an indication
wheter any original is not yet cloned.
hope it gives a starting point
Maarten
PS it irritates me greatly that !ssrecycle,!incomplete is not on by default
It should have been
