Hi, You can have PRESCHEDULECMD i POSTSCHEDULECMD option in any place of the file. I put them on the end:
[...] MANAGEDSERVICES WEBCLIENT SCHEDULE PRESCHEDULECMD "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\cmd.exe /C c:\Progra~1\Tivoli\TSM\scripts\pre_backup.bat" POSTSCHEDULECMD "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\cmd.exe /C c:\Progra~1\Tivoli\TSM\scripts\post_backup.bat" Scripts pre_backup.bat and post_backup.bat contains comands: NET START service_name or NET STOP service_name Hint :) use short version of path (Progra~1 instead of "Program Files") in P*SCHEDULECMD options, otherwise schedule will fail.
