Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] Keeping jobs in the queue from becoming active
What happens to backup jobs that may be running when you terminate the
request daemon? I have a situation coming up where at a certain point I may
not want any new jobs to start but I want those that are running to finish.
I suspect that I should be able to use this technique as well but I thought
I'd check.

Hi,
I am sorry about the delay - I don't always find the time to read the
mails of this list.
The way I delt with this same issue was by stopping the bprd daemon - I
do it via the GUI (Terminate Request Daemon) and restarting it when I'm
done with whatever maintenance I did.
