to be automatically shut down and restarted each timethe system boots.

/etc/rc.d/rc2.d/S95nbclient

/etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S95nbclient

As far as I can see in the installation Guide for Win & Linux you need the "NetBackup Options CD" but I don't know where you can find this CD.
I have the same issue as I'm upgrading our NIX servers with updated clients.

I have checked the NetBackup_6.5_CLIENTS(1-3).tar.gz where I would assume to find it but without luck.

"UnixOptions" or "NB_65_UnixOptions"

Creative, I know.  ;)

ahh, yes. I found it.

Is there a way to pack a certain client and the LiveUpdate Agent in a smaller package? We deploy allmost solely through our LAN and I'd like a smaller NetBackup Client package to transfer over the network.

Any reason you couldn't go old school and use our install/update-a-client command line scripts as needed?  They're pretty well documented in the Installation Guide:

Our NetBackup servers all run on Windows 2003 so I don't think I can push out NIX clients from them. Could i push out from a NIX server not running NetBackup?

But so long as the servers can talk to each other, I believe it's still possible.  (Anyone is free to shout me down or agree with me at this point!)

You shouldn't need any special license to install all of the clients you might need on one particular server, from which you could then use the scripts to push 'em out.  You could also apply the appropriate "CLT" release update as needed, once, to that server and then use it to update all of your clients.  Do check out the installation guide for more about using ssh or ftp to install/update clients.
