External Scripting

[thenapking]

Hi,

 

I'm trying to get a script to work that will stop some services before backup and then start them again. I've butchered the example script on Exchange, but the services were not stopped during backup, and Retrospect didn't say it was executing the script. I'm running Retrospect 6.5.350 on Microsoft Server 2003 on an ML350.

Here's an extract from the script:

 

:StartScript

set scriptName=%1

if {%scriptName%}=={"INVU"} call :PAUSE_INVU

 

:PAUSE_INVU

Echo Stopping INVU Services

net stop "Centurea SQLbase"

net stop ------ other services ------

 

There's a similar part of the script to restart the services.

thanks

Anyone? I'm still not able to get retrospect to stop these services....
