Guys im running Netbackup 6.0mp4 and a number of oracle SSO media 
servers backing themselves up. Solaris9/10

This has been mentioned before many times im sure and i found a thread 
on it called 'Yet another bpstart/bpend questions' but i dont have a 
copy of it to reply to.

Basically as im running a UNIX backup (forget oracle for the moment) and 
we have multistreams set and all_local_drives directive, a 
bpstart_notify script we have which does this (there are extra checks 
etc also):-

dd if=/path/to/votedsk1 of=$STAGING/votingdisk bs=4k >/dev/null 2>&1

..is obviously running on each stream which is kicked off.

I just need it to run once.

There was talk about the bpstart script taking a STREAMS parameter but 
it doesnt say so within the /opt/openv/netbackup/bin/goodies version so 
can anyone confirm there are STREAMS variables passed to it?

I was thinking ( perhaps like many people ) to create some lock file and 
then remove it. This leads to all sorts of issues regarding streams 
restarting, certain ones finishing before others etc and so i'd need to 
create some good logic around it.

What are people doing in the wild?

I just need the above command to run once per backup.
