I sure do have those client logs. They will be at the end of the e-mail
and a quick note.

If I run the command manually, I do get an error e-mail. I see in the
local server's logs (backup mail server, normally dormant) that it sent me
two error messages regarding the backup errors. One from this morning and
one from a few minutes ago when I ran the script manually.


Thanks!

[IT DID NOT AUTOMATICALLY RUN THE NOTIFYSYSADMIN.SH SCRIPT FROM THIS POINT
ON] - sorry for the caps, wanted to make a delineation from logs and the
note.

Repeated about 10 times, for 10 or so failed backup attempts. No
associated logs on the bbstored server, as if the client didn't even make
a connection attempt.
