Re: [Networker] How to count concurrent sessions (scripted)

On Solaris (or just about any *nix), this command will return a simple
count of the number of active sessions:

echo "show session \n print type:nsr" | nsradmin -i - | wc -l

Hi All,

Networker 7.6.0
Solaris10
500ish clients
4,000 save sets a night

We've had some issues over the past few weeks which I've finally pinned 
down to server parallelism being set too low. I've temporarily resolved 
it by adding two storage node licenses and increasing the server 
parallelism from 96 to 160.

Before I spend too long digging through the tools, has anyone already 
got a good command line way to get the number of current sessions that 
NetWorker thinks are running or eligible to run? I'm thinking that 
/usr/sbin/jobquery is my friend here, but I've yet to figure out which 
type and/or status I need to be counting to see how far above "server 
parallelism" I'm asking the system to go.

I know Thierry's got a way to tally up what has happened historically 
(make a very nice display in nsr_reporter), but I'm looking for a 
current sessions count, so that I can figure out if it's server 
parallelism that's stopping the system from progressing. (and dump it in

my database for long term reference)

Many thanks
Will
