Hi
Yeah it is ruuning on unix (hp ux 11.00 with legato 6.1 )

I have written the following but i need more detail as i will run from cron every morning then if error's are found email me.

script i have created :
#!/usr/bin/sh
clear

LOGDIR=/nsr/logs/messages


if [ "$LOGNAME" != "root" ]; then
echo "Error: You must be user root to run this script!" >&2
exit 1
fi
sleep 2

print Welcome $LOGNAME
print "SEARCH IN PROGRESS............."
sleep 2

clear

grep -i SETS /nsr/logs/messages

if [ `grep -i "Unsuccessful Save Sets" /nsr/logs/messages200302 | wc -l` -gt 0 ];
then
echo " There was a problem with the backup "

else

echo " Backup completed "
Regards

Hi,

We use mminfo to get backup status codes. The logs are ok, but if a client doesn't run, or a group doesn't start, you probably won't know anything about it.

If you still want to use the logs, check for file changes during backup. Most are normal, but if someone creates a new db ona server, and backups are not setup for it, a recovery may not be easy (or possible)...

Good Luck!

Most error messages / warnings have a "*" on the error line, so you can search for that also..
