List all active restore sessions/jobs from the CLI

You could use nsrwatch - it provides a similar interface like the Monitoring GUI.

Type 'H' to get to the online help.

Such is not possible (something like 'jobinfo' similar to 'mminfo') does not exist.

You can use jobquery but the handling and output are in the same way as NW's 'nsradmin'.

My question is whether I can list all restore jobs from a single line in CMD.

I can list sessions by typing this in order:

nsradmin
show session
print type: nsr

However I don't know how to combine it into a single line.

I added this to file.txt:

show session
print type: nsr

I then ran:  nsradmin -i file.txt

It doesn't work, what am I doing wrong

This almost works but gives me the wrong info:

how do I insert "show session" in there?

Ps. I can't type the command in the post, the website is bugged.

Just assign the command line to a variable, for example '$command'.

Then execute 'invoke-expression $command'.

Sure it's not the info you wanted. But you used 'nsradmin' instead of 'jobquery' yourself. Of course you must use the appropriate commands.

The command line reference is very small. May I suggest that you run the following commands with "jobquery":

. type: recover job; job state: ACTIVE

show all

p

q

You will get all the attributes/parameters. Next select the ones you need and apply them to the 'show' command. If you need online help, just use 'h' within the 'shell'.

Do you know how to get this information in powershell ?

I need this process automated.

But you'd need a one-liner.. How do you do it?

In your own example. What's inside $command ?

This will do the job:

  invoke-expression "jobquery -i input_file"

It is beneficial to familarize with PowerShell. BTW - the internet is full of examples ...

Try this for showing sessions using nsradmin

(echo . type: nsr & echo show session & echo print ) | nsradmin -i-

As as @bingo.1 mentioned it can be done using jobquery as well

(echo . type: recover job; job state: ACTIVE & echo print) | nsradmin -i-
