If you run jnbSA on unix with the command log option, you will get a log
file with the appropriate CLI to do whatever task you are doing in the
GUI.
Dunno if you can do that with the windows GUI.

ie, I have a regular restore of an exchange SG to a standby server
scheduled via cron.
I needed to change the directory on the client where Netbackup puts the
logs (C:\temp by default)
Started up jnbSA with logging on, started a restore from the GUI,
specified an alternate directory for the log files and grep'ed the
"altername path" name out of the log to get the switch.

Pretty neat, actually.
