The client manual has a pretty good discussion on how to configure the
PRESCHEDULECMD setting.

Also, try going to the IBM web site http://www.ibm.com and searching on:

   +preschedulecmd +script +tsm

There you will find several articles discussing related issues, including
one on diagnosing problems with scripts launched by PRESCHEDULECMD (would
apply to POSTSCHEDULECMD as well).

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.
