Is there a daemon? I would kill/stop daemon instead of processes, so
that they won't respawn again.

Sort of related ... when I try to shut down NetBackup 5.1 there are
almost invariably disk duplication jobs running.  If I kill these from
the GUI they immediately spawn new jobs.  Even after bp.kill_all there
are processes running because the duplication jobs have respawned ... is
there a clean way to kill duplication?  Normally I have to kill the
processes manually.

 

thanks, Phil

        You can make this a lot cleaner by adding a pre-shutdown job
that cancels all running backup jobs and waits for them to go away.  If
there's no active jobs, the daemons drop pretty quick.  I wrote a
utility called "nice_shutdown" that does this.

         

        Kill -9 will stray tapes in drives and lead to all sorts of
other happy problems.

        The question is when I attempt to shutdown NetBackup I get 57
lines of:

        Waiting for active bpsched/bptm processes to terminate

        How can I tell which bpsched/bptm process that it is waiting on.

        How can I tell if the bpched/bptm process it is waiting on will
eventually terminate via the shutdown.

         

        It's kind of like the question "How many licks does it take to
get to the center of a Tootsie Roll pop"? no one knows. 

        No one knows the answer to this question because we all get
impatient and just start doing a mass kill -9 on any bpsched/bptm we
see.

         

        I am asking this to see if there may be a better way than 

        # kill -9 `bpps | awk '{print $2}'`

         

        The cleanup after the kill gets annoying and also is very time
consuming.

        logging onto the ACSLS server and doing dismounts of the
tapedrives.

        yuk...

        not sure what you are after, but what about stopping all
services / processes or rebooting perhaps??

        Was there any more info to add to the message? Or am I missing
something?

                What is actually happening and how can you tell if it is
actually waiting or forever hung?
