I am sorry if I do not understand your request. By the way, how about changing permissions for /var/adm/log/tsm to allow dsmadmc user read/write access to directory (maybe with sticky bit to have access to directory content as well)? If many users need access to this directory, you can create group and grant access to group.

For reasons that I understand even if it does make my life more difficult, I am not permitted to have root access on this box, and the Solaris guys have determined that they want the TSM client log files on /var/adm/log/tsm So dsm.sys has errorlogname /var/adm/log/tsm/dsmerror.log errorlogretention 14,d This is fine for the root user, but when I log in to use dsmamdc I get ANS2036W Pruning functions cannot open one of the Tivoli Storage Manager prune files: /var/adm/log/tsm/dsmprune.log. errno = 13, Permission denied No big deal, I know this is not a problem and happily ignore it. However, I have some scripts that my operations people are going to use, and these invoke dsmadmc multiple times per script to do whatever is needed. Each time the ANS2036W message appears. yes I'm aware that there is a work around for this change errorlogretention to S, run dsmadmc to create the dsmerror.pru file and then change permissions. Someone with root access needs to do that. Much simpler would be to just allow the DSM_LOG environment variable to override the dsm.sys specification, but it cannot. There is NO reason not to allow this. Given that I can set DSM_DIR and DSM_CFG to point to any arbitrary file and also symlink to the message catalog file I can override the system options files however I please. Its just damned annoying to have to. </rant> TSM being complex, difficult and obscure keeps me in work, but its not doing anything for this wonderful product in the marketplace.
