There’s a few different ways you can get in touch:
- Via email – either preston.de.guise@gmail.com or preston@nsrd.info.
- Alternatively, there’s Twitter.
- I have a LinkedIn profile here.
- My personal blog is at unsane.info – that’s where I do my general blathering about topics that are neither backup, nor cloud related.
- For the more adventurous, I’m also on Facebook*
(In terms of both LinkedIn and Facebook, I’d strongly suggest that if you want to connect there, you need to explain why you’re connecting; I don’t accept unsolicited connection requests from people I don’t know who provide no explanation of who they are.)
While I also have multiple instant messaging accounts, I don’t automatically accept add requests, and advise other contact methods first.
Note that I blog in my spare time, and so I may not always respond to emails quickly – particularly if they come in over my weekend or during work hours.

Hi mate,
How are you? I’m Ahad from Australia and I’m kind of new to using Networker 7.6. Even worse, I’m at beginner level with command line (UNIX) and kind of struggling to get things together. So I thought I’ll try my luck on the net and here I am.
We are using:
Solaris master: OS ver 10
SUN SL500 library
And we use Control-m as backup scheduler along with rman.
Now:
Sometimes we kill backup jobs from the GUI of Networker, but the jobs don’t get kill straight away.Instead, it hangs. What I would like to know are:
1. How to kill a specific savegroup in UNIX without killing the Networker Services.(Now we use (nsr_shutdown), but it kills all savegroups that are running. (A command line example would be great)
2. If I can use Nsradmin to do it, what would be the format (An exact example would be life saver).
Thanks in advance mate.
3. what’s the best way to perform a clean savegroup abort.
It used to be that you could kill the running savegrp command on the NetWorker server; depending on how your control-M processes are kicking off the group, this could be the “simple” option. Invoking nsr_shutdown to stop a single group is not recommended.
To stop a group under nsradmin, you’d use:
nsradmin> print type: NSR group; name: groupName
nsradmin> update stop now: True
Cheers.
