Hi,

You may need to write a script to do so. You can contact Microsoft for help.

You can ask for help in the Microsoft Scripting forum. They mainly deal with scripting issues.

Hello Legard!

I presume you are looking for information from the NetWorker backups. If you can provide me with a specific example of what you are looking for, I may be able to help you.

If you have a script / batch written for UNIX, provide that as well so I can see what you are trying to do.

The NetWorker commands used in UNIX are pretty much the same as they are in Windows, with a few tweaks.  If I know what you are working with, then I can probably pull it together for you.

Hi Mark,

What I am looking for is how to capture the notification that networker generate on a savegroup completion, pass it to a variable/argument of a batch file, then from there to do the parsing.

For example in UNIX, on the notification, for savegroup completion, I can indicate a path to a script ie /admin/script/savegroup_completion

In the script for savegroup_completion, I would be able to pass the notification to do a 'cat $* > $tmpfile'.

From there I can do the parsing .

I am looking for a windows equivalent to the $*, i tried %1, %* in a test.bat file but could not get anything.

I tried also in vbscript to use 'InputString = Stdin.ReadLine', but had no success as well.

Hope I am able to explain clearly as I am still learning how to script.

Thanks and Regards

Thanks TimQuan, I am not really looking for the scripting part.

Yes you are   As you have said, this can be done under UNIX and the way it is done is via scripts.  Most likely, you would use PowerShell or Perl on Windows box to do that.

I'm not familiar with positional parameter on Windows when it comes to $* or $@, but what about following... Place script name to notification action and make first line of the script to be nsrlog -f .  From there you can parse group name which you can further... for example I just did a test to see if nsrlog would would and then I manually parsed group name from powershell:

PS C:\Program Files\Legato\nsr\logs> Get-Content .\nsrble.log -totalcount 1 | %{ $_.Split(' ')[7]; }

Default

Obviously this is not ideal as you need to call PS from your script (meaning you need to install it unless you have 2008) and there might be overlap of some kind if 2 groups fail at the same time.  Anyway, with group name you could use cmd line to send via blat for example report with group name in subject and attach file created by nsrlog (or just use it as mail content).  And of course delete the file.

Obviously on UNIX this can be one-liner, but on Windows is more painful.  I have no clue about Windows scripts, but I believe this is possible... invest your time in idea above and see if that will result in anything usable.

Thanks HC!
