Specifically I'm writing a program in perl to audit the files on the
live filesystems with respect to the files stored in TSM. Previously I
posted a simple program in C (M$ Visual C++ 5.0) that performs this
same function, but I prefer to have the program in PERL. Currently the
program scans the live filesystems to grab a list of all files. Then
the program executes 'q files' to get a list of filespaces stored in
TSM. The next step I'm having problems with. Using the list of filespaces
I execute "dsmc q backup $FILESPACE -su=yes -filesonly". On the
command line (typed by hand) this command works. I'm thinking there
is some evaluation going on withing the PERL program that is preventing
any output. If I could even get error output to determine the problem,
that would help.
The thought that some evaluation is happening and causing the problem
is why I am trying to access the filespace using the FSID.
As with the previous program, I'm happy to post the new program for
all to use.
