Oops. Sorry, I spoke too soon.

Per a coworker: "I tested on a server…it definitely stops/terminates nbpem, but it does not resume or restart it!"

Is it kosher to just invoke the nbpem executable directly? That's what the init script appears to do:

    if [ -x ${NBPATH}/nbpem ] ; then
        ${NBPATH}/nbpem
        echo "NetBackup Policy Execution Manager started."
    else
        RETURN=2
        echo "NetBackup Policy Execution Manager not started."
    fi
