the 5th variable passed to the bpend script is the status of the backup 
job.  look at the notification script section of the SAG for more info on 
the variables and how to use this one...

        Subject:        [Veritas-bu] bpend_notify script - can I tell whether 
backup was 
successful


Is there any way to tell whether the backup to tape part has been 
successful before 
the bpend_notify script has been completed. 
We have a bpend_notify script which restarts an Oracle DB after a cold 
backup. 
As part of theis script, I would like to remove some archive logs if the 
backup to tape 
was successful. 
I thought I may be able to use bpdbjobs to check whether the backup status 
was 0 
but the backup is listed as still active while the bpend script is 
running. 
Is there another way to handle this without running a cron job ? 
Many thanks 
Paul
