I'm writing a program that needs to be triggered when a backup starts in

because it's not very reliable. I'm wondering if there is any console
mode notification so that I can run a client nsradmin session and monitor
the output message to get realtime notification when a backup kicks off.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
NetWorker provides exactly this facility. You can create a new custom
notification with a user-defined name, that will run when you start a
group. Set the Event to "Savegroup", and I think the Priority will need
to be set to "Notice" for the start of a group. In the action field you
can put any executable (with full path), or perhaps ssh to a different
machine to run your script.
