NBU client information for exclude list
Created: 12 Apr 2012 | 3 comments
Hi Folks,
What would be the command to list all clients which have an exclude list. Doing it via the GUI would be cumbersome for each and every client. I need this for a weekly audit. Command line would be preferable.
Thanks in advance
Javed.

Exclude list info is stored in client host properties. In unix client, in the file exclude_list.
I checked thru the bpplclients, bpplinclude, bpplinfo command and they can't extract that piece of info from client. I don't think it's possible.
For unix, if rsh is allowed with the client, you can properly run a script to check from every clients.
But I don't know how to do the similar for window clients.
bpgetconfig & bpsetconfig will somehow help you in this....

Before break-up, make sure you have a good backup..... ;-)
You forgot to mention the OS on the master and on the clients.
The OS is relevant as there is no single command to get all this - same as in the GUI where you have to select the clients on-by-one. It will require a bit of scripting which is different on Windows and Linux.
You will first need to collect a list of client names - this can be done with 'bpplclients -allunique -noheader' and then extract only the names in the first column. Again - the howto is different for Windows and Linux.
Next, you need to loop through the client list to run 'bpgetconfig ...' to extract Exclude.
