Hi Folks,

        Is anyone using the pre/post exits of the base client to stop/start
the MSSQL server with the "net stop/start mssqlserver" commands?  I have a
client who  is trying this and the schedule log stops recording when the pre
command file is triggered.  The client has also failed to back up since this
method was implemented.

        If you are not using the net commands, how are you using the
pre/post (or other methods) commands to stop the SQL server so the databases
can be backed up?  Any help or examples would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
