141.5Questions about pre/postALFSS2::ZURIK_EFri Feb 21 1997 08:1413
    I have a question about the previous note.
    
    In the script - the command save $*
    
    Where does the save command get its arguments?
    
    Can savefs or savegrp be used in the script?
    
    The note says to put the script name in the saveset field. Don't you
    mean backup command field?

Networker sends argument for save to the script when it is run.  These 
arguments get passed on to save via:

  save $*

in the script.

>    Can savefs or savegrp be used in the script?

Don't use savegrp or savefs.  This is not what Networker is expecting.  
Networker starts the script for each filesystem on the client that needs saving, 
so using savefs or savegrp will not work.  Actually savegrp is what starts your 
script anyway.

The backup command field is correct.

For another good example of pre-post processing look on page 51 of the Admin
Guide.
