Topic: Backup exec and E-smith

[Charlie Nyman]

I can start Backup Exec Agent for Linux manually, but not automatically. Veritas support has the following fix at this link:

http://support.veritas.com/menu_ddProduct_BEWNT.htm

Will this solve my problem? Sorry I couldn't paste the text here, only the link.

I tried my link and it only goes to the Veritas Backup Exec support page. Search "Linux" and it is about the third one down. It says "Backup Exec Agent on Red Hat Linux will load manually but not automatically". Sorry about that.

Not by itself, no.

Edit /etc/e-smith/events/actions/conf-startup, and around line 100 add:

 makelink ("init.d/agent.init",      "S90baexec");

Then run the command:

/sbin/e-smith/signal-event console-save

When you reboot the executive will be running.
