pending_request_notify script

The NetBackup Media Manager calls the pending_request_notify script after a pending request is issued for a media resource (tape volume). To send an email notification when a pending request is initiated, include an email address in the script where indicated. (A root user must run the script.)

On Windows: Copy Install_path\NetBackup\bin\goodies\pending_request_notify.cmd into Install_path\NetBackup\bin\ on the master server.

On UNIX: Copy /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/goodies/pending_request_notify into /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/ on the master server.

If the script exists in the /bin directory, the following parameters are passed to the script: media ID, barcode, action code, robot type, robot number, media server, volume group, and pending time (in seconds since the UNIX epoch).
