About displaying active processes with bpps on UNIX

NetBackup provides the bpps command to determine which NetBackup processes are active on a UNIX system.

bpps is located in the following directory:

/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpps

The following is example output:

root   310 0.0  0.0  176  0 ?  IW Oct 19  15:04 /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpdbm
root   306 0.0  0.0  276  0 ?  IW Oct 19  2:37 /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bprd

To display both NetBackup and Media Manager options, run:

/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpps -a
