1. Is there a way to stop a running group from within nsradmin? If nmc
isn't working, what's the best way to stop a group without having to
kill the savegrp command?

2. Any way to jump right to the group you want so you can disable it or
edit the resource? nsradmin doesn't display them in alphabetical order,
and iterating over all of them is time consuming. I can run a query to
print the information, but if I need to edit it, how can I get to the
affected group quickly from nsradmin?

Thanks.

George

Never mind. It looks like I have to turn on the hidden option, and then
it shows up as 'stop now:' True [False]. Sheesh! Why would you want that
option hidden? I guess it doesn't have anything to do with the basic
group configuration ... maybe?

Still need help with this one, though.


Thanks.

What about:

nsradmin> print type: NSR group; name: groupName

?

You may find some value in my nsradmin micromanual which takes you through a lot of basic nsradmin usage scenarios. It's available at the NetWorker Hub - http://nsrd.info/micromanuals.html

Assuming you are running on a unix box, you can run nsradmin and command
edit type: nsr group
that will put you in vi editing the entire list of groups. Make your
change and when you save the file, the changes get updated:


Eureka! Of course! Excuse my slowness on nsradmin. Yes, that works
nicely. And, I can use:

edit type: nsr group; name: group_name

and that puts me right into the affected group. Guess I've been behind
the 8-ball for a while. Time to catch up. Thanks!

nsradmin> help edit

usage: edit [query]
The edit command starts an editor session on the resource
descriptors
that match the given query, or the current query if no query
argument
is given. When the editor sesson ends the changes made to the file
are applied to the resource descriptors "create", "delete", and
"update" operations. For example, to edit all resource descriptors
of type "NSR client" you would type:

edit type: NSR client

I was actually looking to edit it, but I see from the other posts that I
just needed to use the edit command and can even target a specific group
as opposed to the all the groups.

Yes, that could be very helpful. Is that manual free? What's involved in
the registration?

Thanks again.

Yep, it's free. I just ask people to register their email address so that if I update the manual I can send out a BCC'd alert to everyone stating there's an update. Email address is never used for anything else.

Cheers,
Preston.
