Re: [Networker] savepnpc

Hi Joel,

This sounds like you're looking for the "Client retries" attribute ofthe Group which is driving the backups. If you set that down to zero,then a failure is a failure, and that's an end to it.This will affect all clients in the group, so if this client is the oddone out it might be worth looking at putting it in a separate group, andleaving the others with NetWorker allowed to re-try on failure.

If you're specifically looking for a way to stop an entire large group(multiple clients & save-sets) in the event of a certain save-setfailing, then you probably would need to be looking at something usingnsradmin.

Hey Guys/Gals,

I've got a group that is setup to run a precmd.  It's been working for
several years.  Due to a couple problems lately, I'm trying to add a
little more error checking and control.

I would like the group to fail if the precmd fails.  Currently if the
script returns anything other than a 0(successful) it just retries the
command twice for each defined saveset in the group.  This isn't the
behavior I was expecting or want.  I'm just wondering if anyone else has
seen this problem or has a suggestion on how to get the savegrp to stop
if the precmd fails.  I had thought about just using a nsradmin command,
within the precmd script, to stop the group if the precmd failed, but
that seems like a circular kludge.

I've been through the man pages and docs w/o much enlightenment.
