make sure ur not logged into the system in the same shell which started the tsm scheduler when the backup runs if it's started by the tsm scheduler of course. Setup the "COMMAND"s schedule to execute on the tsm server side, then goto the client system and restart the client scheduler (dsmc sched) or managed services (dsmcad) and log completely out of the system and just watch it run from the TSM server side with: "q sess".
