Subject: [Veritas-bu] Notify Scripts (without sending on retries)

Has anyone had experience with using NetBackup notify scripts in such a
way that they do not send e-mails for a job until all retries have been
exhausted?  I've tried both bpend_notify on the client and
backup_exit_notify on the master server, and both version send out
alerts for each attempt of the job, where I only want to know what the
*final* status of the job was.  I checked the archives but had
difficulty in narrowing down the search to this situation.
