I have several server to backup on a centralized DLT 40/80 tape on a weekly
frequency.
I have create a script that is using sudo (for mt and ufsdump access) and
ssh private key authentication that execute a remove ufsdump from each
server to the centralized server with a tape.
Up to this point, it is working perfectly fine.
The problem is that the amount of data is getting bigger over time and I
have reach the maximum capacity of one tape so ufsdump is asking for a new
one. That is not a problem when running in foreground with when running the
backup scrip with cron it is not funny !
I would like to find a way to alert me with a mail so I can change the tape
and continue the backup.
Is anyone here have done something like that before ?
Basically, I need to find a way to trap ufsdump output and send an email
when I getting a particular strings.
I also need to find a way to get the focus on a cronned process that is
running in the same way bash is doing it with it's jobs (bg & fg commands).
