EZ Points for Scripters

[Lance_Hoskins]

Ready, Set, GO!

Situation: I'm using NBU6.0 MP3 running on a W2K3 SP1 master and media servers. I have never used the notify scripts, but would like to play around with them. I'm trying to modify the backup_exit_notify script so that it will tell me when any of my Exchange backups get a status that's not 0 or 150.

Problems:
1) How's this code look to all of you windows batch scriptors out there?

@if %2 EQU "PolicyName" && %5 GTR 0 && %5 NEQ 150 goto :ExchangeFailed
:ExchangeFailed
@blat -body "Exchange Backup Failure" -subject "The Exchange Backup for %1 failed." -t me@work.com -f NetBackup@work.com -server mail.work.com

2) How come when I modify this cmd file from within Notepad it takes away the formatting of the file, causing it to fail the next time it's called (specifically takes away the character returns so that everything in the file is one long string.

HELP!

2. Because Notepad is teh ghey! I would suggest using Wordpad instead. Or download a real text editor from the Net (EditPad Pro?).

[Lance_Hoskins]

Thanks for the lead David. I have Notepadd++ and it seems to do the same thing. I've set the type to Unix and still get the same result. Help a Windows brother out! :)

[DavidParker]

Give Wordpad a try?
I think that one plays better with 's ...

[Lance_Hoskins]

Wordpad won't even open the original nicely. It opens without any CR's...

[DavidParker]

Dang!
That's harsh!

I only have vicarious knowledge of a few other editors ... =(
Maybe some of the *nix guys can point you towards a better editor ...
Anyone?

[Lance_Hoskins]

That and some correct syntax. Like I said, I want it to have an "if" statement that checks for policy name, then a status of greater than 0 but not 150. If someone can show me the syntax for that piece of it that'd help too. I have tried a couple of things, but it doesn't like them (<>).

Ugh, I think I'm heading home now. Too much fun for one day!

[Dennis_Strom]

try installing cigwyn and then using vi.
I have no knowledge of wordpat or notepad. If you can use awk or grep or other UNIX like commands I might be able to help out.

On notepad, have you check the "Word Wrap" under format menu?

On WordPad, you can turn on the "Word Wrap" from View -> Options, under the tabs of Text, Rich Text, etc, you can check the Word Wrap option.

[Nathan_Kippen]

Textpad is another one that I've used. It's good for a lot of things.

VI editor allways works!

Hail to BILLY SERVERS! I bow to you Billy G..

I'm just glad my Veritas Master is on UNIX.

Thanks JD, VI will likely become my friend from here on out. I give you 5 for that. If you can give me some good links or examples of the syntax you use (for operands such as equals, not equals, etc. as well as for mailing functions if applicable) it's worth another 10 to ya! :)

With regards to your Billy servers comments, in the words of our good friend Donald Duck, "Shuddup!" ;)

[Lance_Hoskins]

Quick update as to what I'm trying to accomplish.

As some of you may already know, when an Exchange backup fails, it fails with a status 1. While I'm sure to some of you a status 1 is unheard of in your environment (**cough**Bob**cough**), but we have plenty of clients that finish with a status 1 for a number of reasons. So, that being said, we were going to try doing cumulative backups every other day on Exchange and let the logs grow for 2 days rather than 1, but if we had any failure in the full job and the logs didn't flush, we'd hit a limit on the number of logs that Exchange could handle.

Bottom Line
I want to know when an Exchange backup finishes with anything but a status 0 or 150. I thought I could do somehing like the following to the backup_exit_notify.cmd, but it doesn't seem to be working. Any ideas?

@if "%2" != "P-Exchange-Stores" goto NotExchange
:NotExchange
@if "%5" > 0 && != 150
@blat SendE-Mail

Thoughts? I know the && doesn't work, but the != doesn't seem to work either. HELP!

I do not think bpexit will catch a status 96 since bpbrd does not start. There are links to the technote at the bottom of this link.

[Lance_Hoskins]

And that's fine... I'm most concerned with status 1's, but thought I'd try catching more than just that if I could. I'm now just not sure how to put together the syntax to check for a specific policy AND status code. If I could figure out how to do an "AND" opperand or the "not equal" operand to work, I'd be all set!

[Lance_Hoskins]

Ok Jim, I'm making you work for this one! :) I have it almost done, but need the syntax for the not equals opperand. I figured it would be != since equals is ==, but that doesn't seem to be working. Hook me up brother!

Lance,

I have cron run this every day at 8:00 am, you wont need to fart around with greater than or equal too, just use what Veritas has given you and BLAT ans you be good.

Use the Oracle one at the bottome for your exchange server mail.

This is Korn Shell, but it is easy to convert it to BATCH.

Beautiful code Jim. I got it working the hard way! ;) Below's what I added to my backup_exit_notify.cmd file. As Emeril would say, "BAM".



@if not "%2" == "P-Exchange-Stores" goto DoNothing

@if "%5" == "0" goto DoNothing

@if "%5" == "150" goto DoNothing

blat_me_an_email

:DoNothing

More difficult than it had to be, bu hey it's my first attempt at playing with NBU scripting--give me a break!
