Thanks for the info. My other use of this is to include in the script to 
automatically cut a problem ticket for said failed backup.

My other issue is that I still have to upgrade 19 other masters that span 
multiple O/S flavors, multiple masters, and multiple hardware platforms. So I'm 
trying to setup this process to be its own "island" on each master so that it 
isn't dependent on some other server or service outside the master server it is 
running on.

Networker is just ONE of the backup products I help support. I help support 
over 100 backup master servers. So this would be very helpful to automatically 
open a trouble ticket when a backup fails.  [Wink]
