Well, I would share my script but the way Netbackup works is there are multiple streams that originate from the W2K server that make connections to the client (my Linux box). I have the opportunity to run a start script and a end script per stream which I do. The issue is this, my scripts are not running when the SIGPIPE occurs. The start script just sets up file systems etc to prep for the backup. After the start script exits, the remote backup begins and this is where the SIGPIPE occurs, during the remote backup, only on a full system.
Still want to see the script? -----Original Message----- From: Sean Estabrooks [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 11, 2003 12:33 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: SIGPIPE, where is it coming from?

Hey Tony, Need to see your script to know for sure.. But basically it means that one command in a pipe has dropped out so that that command connected to it no longer has anything to write to. For example: cat file | head When head terminates after showing the first few lines... cat receives a SIGPIPE to tell it that it no longer has anywhere to send its output. Share you script and i'm sure you'll get some more specific help.
