Well here is what I found. We run at two connectors, on at port 8085 and a secured one at port 8443. I scanned the two ports using nmap from a Linux system and found that port 8443 is closed. Now I don't know how this has happened or who has closed it. Can the port just be stuck or hung, and...

So you would restart the whole backup and it, Netbackup, would only backup the previous two streams that failed. This happens automagically or do you start a backup only for the two streams that failed. Is this a hot or cold backup? I am not arguing that the feature is not useful, my gripe is...

I can understand that, but isn't there a mechanism that creates streams for you by doing some analysis. Its probably the same as doing it manually. In my opinion Netbackup need to mature a bit. I have often told Veriats to implement a backup header and footer process to unify all the streams...

I thought this would be a script, okay nothing new there. I did learn something ... can you tell me more about Multiplexing/Multistreaming and failed backups. At my previous gig we used Multiplexing/Multistreaming together for every backup, but at my new gig they only use Multistreaming ... so...

I was asked today if Netbackup has the feature to store the last valid backup per worstation for more than one month. Unix 3.4 master & media MT & W2K workstations Client. I know I can duplicate my policies, change the schedules and the retention period for a month so that the last tape stays...

Because I know where the file is, just not the full name as the program that creates it tabs a date and time stamp on it. So ls command with wild card is used to extract some stats on the file and then i wish to use just the basename, no directory when reporting it to the user. hope this helps...

I though about it, but the server is actively used and I can't afford the down time.

Thanks all, I now remember using basename in a shell script long ago, its what I was looking for, but I appreciate all other examples.

I am looking to extract from the output of the ls command just the file name, but haven't found a way to do it yet. I looked at things line cut or awk. Not knowing a better way ... I would count the number of slashes in the path and then cut or awk the last field. I think sed might be a...

On a Solaris 8 machine, and maybe other versions too ... the command '# ls /export/home/root/steve' returns the following output '/export/home/root/steve', but is I cd to the directory and do 'ls steve' the command returns 'steve' my question ... is there a way to omit the s command from...

During an install I selected or replied yes to the install additional support for Canadian French. After the install the /usr file system is at 99% capacity. I am wondering now if I can safely remove all the packages related to French? Below is a list ... Anyone have experience or thoughts...

Thanks for the lession, but the superflus [{}] don't really bother me, in fact they help me spot variable with in the code.

I can accept this. So just use cd as a builtin no problem. What do you mape of the PWD in line 15 and 20 ... is it the built in too?

So I have a ksh script that needs to be in a certain dir before executing another script. I tried to code the cd command using a variable and it does not work ... what am I doing wrong? Below is a copy of a simple script put together. Notice that line 9 does not work while and line 14 does...

Well ... I wrote a script to locate files older than somevariable days, -mtime +$AGE, see initial thread ... first I tar up & gzip the files, then I remove the based on -mtine +${REMOVE_AGE} I am using this to get rid of log log files. Then I had a thought ... I could use this script to keep a...
