I'm trying to create a script which does the following: 1) query the server for any running reclamation 2) retrieves the process id for this reclamation 3) cancels the reclamation 4) starts a backup storage pool Can this be done in one script? If so, how do I put the process id in a variable which I can parse to the cancel command? Thank you very much for any reply in advance!!
