Call a script within NetBackup 6.5.3 Pre and Post scripts

I have a script which runs as a Windows task scheduler 30 mins before the start of a Full backup job to create a snapshot of a CIFs share on our IBM N series filer.

See below my script (it uses PLINK.exe):

plink -ssh -l username -pw password baystorm snap delete BAYSTORMServer SatFull
plink -ssh -l username -pw password baystorm snap create BAYSTORMServer SatFull


The snapshot is then backed up as a Full backup job via a NetBackup v6.5.3 client.
I then delete the snapshot after a successful completion of the backup.

I need some help to incorporate my script within the NetBackup Pre/Post script to automate the process of creating the snapshot, the backup the snapshot and then delete it after it has successfully completed.

Recommend you look at the NetBackup notify scripts section of the NetBackup Admin Guide, Volume II

Thanks Stuart.
I am novice when it comes to scripts - so was looking for help as I feel someone might have done it before.
