i am looking for a command to list the backups information (as in the activity monitor)

like

client >>>> $7

start time >>>> $9

end time >>>> $11

active elapsed time >>>> $10

status >>>> $4

Plz provide the awk script or command for this?

Parse bpdbjobs?

How to do this?

As per the tech note Marianne gave the link to above ....

Just run the bpdbjobs command with the switches you require - read through the tech note

It seems you have found this post:

'parse' means that you can use shell commands such as grep and awk to extract specific info.

If you google
netbackup bpdbjobs awk
you will be guaranteed to find some examples!

You can also do a 'man awk' from cmd to learn what awk can do for you.
 

Is the command Given is right.

If I execute this Im not getting any output.

/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpdbjobs -all_columns | awk '{print $7, $9, $11, $10, $4}'

-bash-3.2$ sudo ./bpdbjobs -all_columns | awk -F","  '{print $7, $9, $11, $10, $4}'

lxyump 1332494058 0000000000 0000000812

What is this?

please update on this?

It is the 7th, 9th 11th 10th and 4th fields of the comma separate output of the bpdbjobs -all_columns command.

However, the lines can be very long, and awk sometimes will not work.

If I run bpdbjobs -most_columns - these are the first 11 columns

384,0,3,237,womble_ad_disk,Full,*NULL*,,1333911123,0000000000,1333911123

These are ...

jobid,jobtype,state,status,class,schedule,client,server,started,elapsed,ended

I think this is better :

NOTE :  THIS WILL ONLY WORK ON UNIX ... (awk does not work on windows)

 bpdbjobs -most_columns |awk -F, '{print $1" "$5" "$6" "$9" " $11}'

This command gives the 1, 5th, 6th, 9th and 11th fields which from the descriptions are :

jobid  class/ policy  schedule  start time  end time

The output looks like this :

HI,

Is there a command to get the time in Sun Apr  8 19:52:03 2012 format when i run bpdbjobs.
