Hi: This is more a Novell qestion than a TSM question, and simply involves how to have a Novell script wait for the completion of one command before initiating the next.
Background: We use TSM to backup groupwise / novell. The groupwise admin has said the restores of GW are unworkable ( essentially because one server is so large compared to the others). In order to be able to get a daily 'point in time' restore of the GW directories, he wants to do archive / retrieves on a daily basis. This particular archive class goes to a stg pool that is cartridge based and the client is limited to one mount point. Since the admin is not too familiar with the Novell environment, he has been guessing at the completion time of these archives and scheduling four archives, when the second will start before the 1st completes. The 2nd does not get a mountpoint and the 4 archives never complete. So, for Novell people. Is there a way to script the 4 archive commands, where each waits for the previous one to complete?
