I've not used nsradmin. Do you have a code snippit or such?
I would love to use nsradmin to start the groups, and I've been looking
for a way to tell if the group is finished!
I'll look at pskill. Would it stop the savegroup?

Subject: stopping savegroup
David,
If you are starting savegrp directly, you should be able to kill the
process (sysinternals has, in my opinion, the best kill command--look
for pskill) ...however, have you considered starting the group via
nsradmin instead of starting savegrp? Then you can stop the group via
the GUI, or via a nsradmin command, which should make it a bit easier.
If you need to know when it finishes, you could have the perl script
then run nsradmin every few minutes and check to see if that group was
still running. (I wasn't sure if the perl and cmd process were still
running because you cared when the savegrp ends or not)
Another advantage is that nsrim will run automatically afterwards.

Subject: Halting a savegroup started by a remote scheduler
We use a third party scheduler that logs onto our Legato servers
worldwide (all W2K3 with NW 7.1.3 or 7.2) using an administrative
account and runs a PERL script that does a savegrp command. Along with
the usual processes (savegrp, nsrmmd, etc) are a cmd and perl process.
The problem is that we cannot halt the savegroup without recycling the
Networker services. Since we have other backups and clone jobs
running, we do not wish to do this.
I tried killing the savegrp, cmd and eventually all processes for that
account, but the savegroup didn't stop. If only one client is still
running, I can kill the save process on that client, but otherwise
cannot stop the savegroup.
Any ideas?
