I also do my scheduling via cron and have the cron job call admin
scripts but of course you run into the problem of hard coding a password
somewhere. You could also try something like:
Last step in admin schedule: q stg >
/tmp/flags/BACKUP_SCHEDULE_DONE.FLAG
Then have cron schedule your shell script to start at the same time as
your admin schedule and have the shell script do the following:
while true
do
if [ -a /tmp/flags/BACKUP_SCHEDULE_DONE.FLAG ] ; then
rm /tmp/flags/BACKUP_SCHEDULE_DONE.FLAG
copy important files
exit
fi
sleep 60
done

Guenther,
You can not do this directly as a "Admin Schedule", however you could do
a little trick and get it done. I am assuming that the TSM server
system also has a TSM node assigned to it. If so you could run a client
schedule that calls the OS level script. But you might just consider
running this script from an OS scheduler like cron if it is a Unix
machine.
I hope that helps.
