When you execute your backup script, test the return code of the command and take an action when necessary.
Example :
#!/bin/ksh
host=`hostname`
ufsdump 0uf /dev/rmt/0 /your_filesystem
if [ $? -ne 0 ];then
echo "BACKUP ERROR in the $host"
echo "BACKUP ERROR in the $host" > /tmp/bkp_msg_error.txt
mailx -s "BACKUP ERROR" your_email@your_domain < /tmp/bkp_msg_error.txt
fi
or
#!/bin/csh
set host=`hostname`
ufsdump 0uf /dev/rmt/0 /your_filesystem
if ( $status != 0) then
echo "BACKUP ERROR in the $host"
echo "BACKUP ERROR in the $host" > /tmp/bkp_msg_error.txt
mailx -s "BACKUP ERROR" your_email@your_domain < /tmp/bkp_msg_error.txt
endif
P.s.: Use the mailx command if you have a sendmail in your host.
I hope help you !

qrun(8B) PBS qrun(8B)
NAME
qrun - run a pbs batch job
SYNOPSIS
qrun [-a] [-H host] job_identifier ...
DESCRIPTION
The qrun command is used to force a batch server to initiate the execution of a batch job. The job is run regardless of scheduling posi-
tion, resource requirements, or state.
In order to execute qrun, the user must have PBS Operation or Manager privilege.
OPTIONS
-a Specifies the job(s) is to be run asynchronously.
-H host Specifies the host within the cluster on which the job(s) are to be run. The host argument is the name of a host that is a
member of the cluster of hosts managed by the server. If the option is not specified, the server will select the "worst
possible" host on which to execute the job.
OPERANDS
The qrun command accepts one or more job_identifier operands of the form:
sequence_number[.server_name][@server]
STANDARD ERROR
The qrun command will write a diagnostic message to standard error for each error occurrence.
EXIT STATUS
Upon successful processing of all the operands presented to the qrun command, the exit status will be a value of zero.
If the qrun command fails to process any operand, the command exits with a value greater than zero.
