investigated this before me.

We've been thinking about a huge disk pool also. What we would probably do
is client backup to SCSI disk first then migrates to cheap disk or Tape.

one solution:
We created an admin account (ex. QUERY), that is granted no authority.
Which means it can do queries, but can't change anything.
For scripts that just do queries, we use that admin id and don't sweat

Talking with the TSM specialist we work with led me to think
that the level of coordination you're looking for is a feature of the

The DBAs I work with put a large number of spaces between the userid and

That way the ps command cuts its output before the password is displayed.
