Rusty:

What I've done is added on the last line a call to a separate script
with all the parameters passed to it (6). I call it
ebs_backup_exit_notify and you can download it from my web-site at
http://gurski.comn/netbackup.php and then choose the Unix Scripts on the
left-hand side of the page...

Let me know how you make out...

Ed
