Not sure if Symantec/Veritas has this on their radar, but the RedHat 5
based distributions as well as others are updating long out dated
command options that some of the NetBackup scripts are going to bork on.
Two immediate commands which you would find in the "available_media"
script are

tail
sort

The tail command has had it's ambiguous "+NUMBER" option removed and it
needs to be replaced with "-n +NUMBER"

The sort has had a similar replacement for the ambiguous field specification
where the out dated "+NUMBER" needs to be specified as "-s NUMBER"


Other commands that might need adjustment are

cleanstats
check_coverage
update_dbclients

I did a quick scan but there may be other scripts and there may be other
commands within scripts that would need checking.   Just and FYI.

Thanks
Peter
