In Avamar version 5 SP1 onwards, you may run status.dpn and see the output towards the end to see if the maint is STOPPED or running. It shows the time of each maint activity there. For example:

Maintenance windows scheduler capacity profile is active.

Hello Joe,

Here is one small home made bash script for you ... hahaha 

  - Just touch a file name you wish (or something like "maintstatus") in "/usr/local/avamar/bin"

  - chmod on file to get permission to execute ...

  - start script with "maintstatus" without

#!/bin/bash

OSType=`uname -s`
KernelRelease=`uname -r`
HostName=`hostname -f`
DateStamp=`date +%s`
AvaServerVers=`rpm -qa | grep dpnserver`
AvaServerIP=`hostname -i`
NumberOfNodes=`mccli server show-prop | grep "Number of nodes" | awk '{ print $4}'`

NextBackStartTime=`avmaint sched status --avamaronly --xmlperline=99 | grep "backup-window next-start-time"| awk '{ print $2}' | cut -c18-27`
NextBlackoutStartTime=`avmaint sched status --avamaronly --xmlperline=99 | grep "blackout-window next-start-time"| awk '{ print $2}' | cut -c18-27`
NextMaintStartTime=`avmaint sched status --avamaronly --xmlperline=99 | grep "maintenance-window next-start-time" | awk '{ print $2}' | cut -c18-27`

jdespres,

any other wishes we could script maybe ?  

Yes, there is a script from EMC which could be use for replication monitoring from shell ...

I will find it for you .

Do you have anything to monitor & manage replications ?

Thanks!
