Hello Paul, 

Here is a little script I wrote to report the active/inactive state of a
policy.  It will search through each of your policies and then tell
whether it is active or not.  I am by no means a script God and there is
probably another way of doing this, but "Hey, it works for me!"

This has only been run on a Solaris 9 system running Netbackup 5.0  I
have 187 policies and the script took about 60 seconds to run.

It reports back in this format:

Yes Policy1 is active
Yes Policy2 is active
No  Policy3 is not active
Yes Policy4 is active

The "Policy#" field will be the name of the policy(s) you have.  You can
customize the output however you wish.

Thanks.
