Use a blank, or null, string for "cmdstring" if you want to prevent anycommands from running that the administrator uses for postsnapshotcmd. Ifyou specify a blank or null string, it prevents the administrator from using acommand on this option. If your administrator uses a blank or null string onthe postsnapshotcmd option, you cannot run a post-snapshot command.Use the srvprepostsnapdisabled option to prevent the Tivoli Storage Managerserver administrator from executing operating system commands on the clientsystem.If the command string contains blanks, enclose the command string inquotation marks:"resume database myDb"If you placed quotation marks within the command string, then enclose theentire command string in single quotation marks:’resume database "myDb"’ExamplesOptions file:postsnapshotcmd "restart application"The command string is a valid command for restarting your application.Command line:backup image -postsnapshotcmd="restart application"This option is valid only on the initial command line. It is not valid in interactivemode.Related information“Include options” on page 395“Srvprepostscheddisabled” on page 478Preschedulecmd/PrenschedulecmdThe preschedulecmd option specifies a command that the client program processesbefore it runs a schedule.The client program waits for the command to complete before it starts theschedule. If you do not want it to wait, specify prenschedulecmd.Note:1. Successful completion of the preschedulecmd command is considered to be aprerequisite to running the scheduled operation. If the preschedulecmdcommand does not complete with return code 0, the scheduled operation andany postschedulecmd and postnschedulecmd commands will not run. Theclient reports that the scheduled event failed, and the return code is 12. If youdo not want the preschedulecmd command to be governed by this rule, youcan create a script or batch file that invokes the command and exits with returncode 0. Then configure preschedulecmd to invoke the script or batch file. Thereturn code for the prenschedulecmd command is not tracked, and does notinfluence the return code of the scheduled event.2. The server can also define the preschedulecmd option (and theprenschedulecmd option).Chapter 12. Processing options 431
