Yes - run an admin schedule in the TSM server to execute the administrative
command (or a macro) and put the output in a file. Then you can have a
cron job execute against the output. Since TSM runs off the system clock,
it's easy to coordinate the two. You can even have a cron job to create
the macro, then have the TSM admin schedule execute it, and another cron
job to manipulate the data.
If you need to run the jobs when you want them to run, you can have a
script that takes the password (and ID, if you want to) as a parameter on
the command line. Then you can run it when you want to, and you're the
only one who will see the password.

Please respond to
"ADSM: Dist Stor
Manager"
any alternatives to running: "dsmserv" via batch mode with the:
dsmadmc -id=login -pass=password syntax...
I mean it's passwords in clear text so all someone has to do is cat that
file and your exposed... Any ideas on how to automate the client-server
interface (dsmadmc) without displaying the password anywhere?. Thanks!.
