Check to make sure that your script is using the fully pathed unix commands.  
When you are running the script from the command line, you are in your shell 
environment.  When bpend_notify is running the command, it is not from within 
your login shell environment.
 
Easy way to test it is to fully path the commands within the script.  If you 
don't know what the full path is to the command, use "which" on the command 
line.  (i.e. "which mv" will return the full path to the mv command)

Subject: [Veritas-bu] BPend_notify only does half of its job



Hi, I have a problem using bpend_notify to bring an oracle database backup up. 
If I run the script myself from the command line it works successfully. But 
when bpend_notify is used to run the script at the end of the backup all 
functions of the script are not completed - confusing that some lines in the 
script complete but one other doesn't.

 

The script starts oracle, starts the instances and then starts the listener. 
But the listener does not start when the script is run by bpend_notify. If I 
run the script myself from command line the listener starts no problem. 

 

Any ideas?
