Geoffrey,

here ya go in bash ( I'm afraid I'm NT illiterate, so I dunno how much help 
this will be )
-Ed Anderson
#!/usr/local/bin/bash
#!/usr/local/bin/bash
# BEGIN  /root/bin/runTSMSERVyoubastard.bash
#===============
# Check for dsmserv running on solaris  / True SysV
#===============

DATE=`date`
PATHTODSMSERV="/opt/tivoli/tsm/server/bin/dsmserv"
ISRUNNING=`ps -aef | grep dsmserv | wc -l`
 # Should be 2, one for the real process and one for the "grep dsmserv" process

if ( "$ISRUNNING == "2" ); then 
   exit
else 
   nohup $PATHTODSMSERV
   mail -s "TSM SERVER WAS RESTARTED ON $DATE" your-address AT your.domain DOT 
com [email protected]
fi   

#END

add this to your crontab for the root user
1  16-7   *  *  *  /root/bin/runTSMSERVyoubastard.bash

short sweet and to the point,

I'd like to know if anyone has a script that will do the following. Cron
would check once an hour from 4PM to 7 AM and see if the TSM server is up
and running. If not to restart it. I had a problem last night and the
operators didn't check backups for 6 hours and most were missed because TSM
crashed.

I'm sure this is easy to do, but my brain is mush from migrating TSM to a
different production server and upgrading to 4.2.1. After the upgrade it
crashed so most backups were missed. I can't erly on operations  to check
backups, even though they're supposed to.
