FYI..
 
To weed out the grep process:
 
ps -eaf | grep dsmserv | grep -v grep | wc -l

        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.
