Thanks for your ideas! We need to test a few scenarios to see what is the best fit.

Hi Paul, you do need root privilege to achieve this BUT - you may either create a suid program that does this for you ( not a script, too easy to cheat ) OR - you may want to use some open source software, I have made good expierences with sudo ( see open source pages like gnu.org ). This package has its own security rules allowing non-root users to run root programs Good luck Peter Paul Zarnowski <[EMAIL PROTECTED] An: [EMAIL PROTECTED] RNELL.EDU> Kopie: Gesendet von: "ADSM: Thema: Re: root required to kill TSM daemons? Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] U> 10.02.2002 13:34 Bitte antworten an "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" It is possible to run TSM as a non-root userid, in which case you wouldn't need root privs to kill it. However, I still find there are times when it is necessary to reboot AIX to clear an I/O problem. At 10:41 AM 2/8/2002 -0800, Cheryl Miller wrote: >We just converted to TSM 4.2.1.9 from NetBackup.
