Hi Bud, following the other responses, I would really do the following:
1. set up the dsm in inittab. root@cws_sp:/spdata/sys1/install/AIX433/lppsource>cat /etc/inittab | grep dsm adsm:2:respawn:/usr/bin/dsmc sched >/dev/console 2>&1 # Start ADSM scheduler adsmcad:2:once:/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsmcad >/dev/console 2>&1 # Start ADSM web client 2. your '??' that no session is controlling the process, ie. init is controlling it. That is why the Parent Process ID is 1. ttyp1 is your current session, the session that you are currently logged into. 3. They both should stay running when you log out. But this isn't an issue if you use inittab. 4. Depdending on the TSM version you may have to redirect /dev/null back into the dsm process. This is a know problem with AIX. Try "nohup dsmc schedule < /dev/null > /dev/null 2>&1 &" Miles ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Miles Purdy System Manager Farm Income Programs Directorate Winnipeg, MB, CA [EMAIL PROTECTED] ph: (204) 984-1602 fax: (204) 983-7557 "If you hold a UNIX shell up to your ear, can you hear the C?" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
