Hi, When you set these things up, remember that the command is being passed to a shell for execution, since most Unix shells do not like a space between a redirection operator and a filename, the command is probably failing. You should find the failure logged on the client in tsm home area.

I believe it will also help if you remove the space before backset.out like so: >backset.out What interface are you using to create the sched - Admin Center, older web admin, or command line? ______________________________ John Monahan Senior Consultant Enterprise Solutions Computech Resources, Inc.

The Action field is set to COMMAND and in the Object field I am trying to pass the string to execute the script. It is: nohup ./backupset/gen_backupset2.sh > backset.out I believe it needs single or double quotes or something around either the whole line or part of the line. I have tried numerous permutations, but when I update it with TODAY and NOW to get it to run and test it out it just sits there. Any ideas?
