You want your script to check field 2 for the wakeup interval. You may
want to check the 'backup tries' field as well (field 5) to make sure
it's larger than 0.

Hi all

Its been a while , hope you are all well.

Quick Q which someone might be able to answer straight off the bat.

We had a situation where the wake up interval was set to 0, probably due
to some planned work however this was not changed back out of error and
therefore all scheduled backups failed understandably.

Want to put a quick script together to check the bpsched log to confirm
bpsched is in actual fact waking up scheduling jobs.

Need I say 5.1, as the bpsched log is huge can anyone point out the text
I'm looking for to save me trawling ?

Much appreciated

Dave Clooney
