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?
