Hi,

I am writing a script that is doing a fbackup during the night and before it shutdown the database then run the fbackup then at the end before restarted the data base, I would like to check the status that the fbackup is fine but I always have warning (about socket: fbackup(1102): WARNING: unable to stat file /var/spool/sockets/pwgr/ etc... ) so my fbackup ending with warning and if I checked the $? it is different of 0
So how can I check that the fbackup was good and complete my script with some checks...
Or how can I avoid the warning errors (do I have to stop )

Just for information I have to use fbackup.

Thanks in advance for help.

Cheers

Ideally, you should restore the fbackup-ed tape on a test system using frestore and try to startup the database. If it works, you have no problems in your backup.

That warning is generally harmless. fbackup first build a list of files to save on tape. Then it writes those files to tape. By the time it got to the mentioned file, it was gone. You can avoid those by running fbackup in single user mode.
