Subject: days in scripting


Hi all,

We have a daily tsm script which checks for missed backups, missed events,
filesystems backupped longer then 24 hours ago etc.
Weekends we do not backup all of our servers, so the check should be for
last friday and not for sunday.
Is there a way to implement the current day and do a jump depending on the
current day?

For instance:

if 'today=monday' goto
        q ev * * begind=-3
else
        q ev * * begind=-1




Thanks,
Adrie
