[Veritas-bu] waiting....

Title: Message

The question is when I attempt to shutdown NetBackup I get 57 lines of: Waiting for active bpsched/bptm processes to terminate How can I tell which bpsched/bptm process that it is waiting on. How can I tell if the bpched/bptm process it is waiting on will eventually terminate via the shutdown.   It's kind of like the question "How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll pop"? no one knows. No one knows the answer to this question because we all get impatient and just start doing a mass kill -9 on any bpsched/bptm we see.   I am asking this to see if there may be a better way than # kill -9 `bpps | awk '{print $2}'`   The cleanup after the kill gets annoying and also is very time consuming. logging onto the ACSLS server and doing dismounts of the tapedrives. yuk...   >>> "WEAVER, Simon" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 8/23/2006 1:36 AM >>> Bob not sure what you are after, but what about stopping all services / processes or rebooting perhaps?? Was there any more info to add to the message? Or am I missing something?     Regards Simon Weaver 3rd Line Technical Support Windows Domain Administrator EADS Astrium Limited, B23AA IM (DCS) Anchorage Road, Portsmouth, PO3 5PU Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Bob Stump [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 22 August 2006 17:30 To: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] waiting....
