Interesting. You know, I didn't think the TSM scripting would be used much by people, to me it appears easier to control TSM with external scripts - to the extent I have never more than glanced at the TSM scripting abilities.
Do people mix the two, or is it a case of 'We use TSM scripting' or 'We use Shell / python etc..' based on preference / environment restrictions. Are there any benefits to TSM scripting other than it doesn't require an external process and relevant software to achieve it?

And to amplify and suggest: I've got several scripts whose meaning is 'reload this other script, from this well-known file location' For instance my 'retemp' script has del scr temp def scr temp file=/u/adsm/tmp/temp.scr so I can edit 'temp.scr' and pretend that it's close to the same thing as my temp script. This model has saved me a lot of time: I've got a large passel of scripts (40-60) I use in the management of my covey of servers, and just a few maintainance scripts let me reload all of them. - Allen S.
