EBS/Networker Client savepnpc scripts

I am running Sun Enterprise Backup (aka Legato Networker) 7.1 Business edition. The server is running on a Solaris 9/Sparc machine. The server is also a client. I also have Linux and Polaris clients.

I am trying to get client savepnc scripts (for pre/post commands) working.(this would be to shutdown specific applications while a client was being backed up.) Under /nsr/res, there is a *.res script for each backup group.On the server, template ones were created by default for each group. I modified them to send me an e-mail

type: savepnpc;

#precmd: "echo hello";

precmd: "echo server1 precmd | mail me@mydomain.com ";

#pstcmd: "echo bye", "/bin/sleep 5";

pstcmd: "echo server2 postcmd | mail me@mydomian.com ", "/bin/sleep 5";

timeout: "12:00:00";

abort precmd with group: No;

I created similiar files on the clients.

These scripts are run for the server's "client" instance.(They don't run if the server is not defined as a client in the backup group.)They don't run on the other clients.The log files don't show any indication that there was even an attempt to run them.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Never mind- I had accidentally typed the "savepnpc" command in the "save operations" field and not the "backup command" field.
