- Legato does'nt recommend handling resource files directly..
- There are subtle differences in the formats of resource files that
NetWorker 5.x, 6.x and 7.x handle.  So potentially if you have a
script that reads the resource file of 5.x it may not work with later
versions..

Thank you very much for the example below.  It is quite helpful.  In

case, reading the resource files directly is not an option so I have
to parse the raw nsradmin output.

Hi,

Several years ago I did a perl module that correctly handles
the different possible cases of nsradmin output.  I am also
including a little script that uses it so you can see how to
parse the output.  This worked on both unix and windows at
the time.

Just so everyone is clear: the script I posted uses nsradmin to query
either nsrd or nsrexecd.  It does not read the resource file directly.

Also, I was aware of other scripts posted to do this in the past, but
they all had some trouble parsing the different kinds of results
nsradmin can produce (at least, as far as I remember).  The script I
posted should not have these problems.

Good luck,

Byron
