I am wanting to write a script to place in the crontab of
our master server which will restart the NBU services once a week. I plan
to have the script issue nbpemreq –suspend_scheduling but then need a way
for it to check for any backups still running before issuing
/etc/init.d/netbackup stop.
Does anyone know if there is a process I can have the script
grep for which won’t be there once all the backups have completed ?
I don’t want to stop the NBU processes if there are backups still
running. We do plan to have the script run during a period when no
backups are running but we all know how backups can randomly overrun their
expected windows !!
In case anyone is curious, our master server has some kind
of semi regular memory issue which arises about once every 10 days or so and
can be resolved by restarting the NBU services. My plan is to proactively
do this on a weekly basis in the hope that it will stop the master server
rejecting connections due to a lack of swap (like it did last night during my
daughters softball game !!).
Thanks
