Hi Gill, I am not sure what OS you are running TSM on but I am running mine
on Solaris and I have a cron job set up to run every morning at 6:00. The
script in the cron job is as follows:
echo "****** TSM Backup Report ******" > /usr/local/adsm/log
echo For 'date' >> /usr/local/adsm/log
echo "The following is the status of last night's backups\n" >>
/usr/local/adsm/log
dsmadmc -id=admin -pa=admin "q event * * begindate=-1 >>
/usr/local/adsm/log"
mailx -s "TSM_Report" [EMAIL PROTECTED]< /usr/local/adsm/log
That is pretty much it. Of coarse, you will need to change the id and pa
from admin to a real admin name and password on your system and replace
[EMAIL PROTECTED] with your email address. You can also add as many email
addresses that you want so other people can receive the email. Basically
this job creates a file called 'log' within the /usr/local/adsm directory,
then it mails that file to the recipients. I hope this helps.
