Sorry if this is a stupid RTFM question, we inherited the backups job from another team, part of which is gone and the other part is now unavailable to us, and boy we're having lots of fun.
We have 2 servers that were rolled to new hardware, at the same time upgraded 
from 7.2 to 7.4-1, now upgraded to 7.4-2. This was before we came on board.

Apparently there were some scripts out there that watch the groups as they ran 
and reported their status when finished. These scripts were based on the 
nsradmin command:

. type:NSR Group; name $group followed by a "show completion" and a print. we are searching the output for the word "FAIL", and in 7.4 apparently that is no longer an output of the show command. When I enter "show completion" and "print" I get basically nothing. If enter "show status" followed by a "print", I get IDLE which is correct, but I need to know if the group failed.
When I do a "show" to get all output, "completion" is not one of the fields 
returned. Here is what I do get:


nsradmin> show
Will show all attributes

This particular job is showing "Failed" in the GUI

My question is, can anyone tell me how to pull a completion status from 
nsradmin (or anything) via command line? We need to fix our scripts asap, as we 
are being audited.  I again apologise for not knowing, both myself and my 
team-mate are new to networker and perl scripting. We are looking at the 
mauals, just not getting anywhere. Thanks

I am completely baffled about this. I have done exactly the same nsradmin command as you on my 7.4.2 Linux system and there is a completion line between work list and status. What platform are you running on?
