It's unlikely I'm ever going to run into those errors as we do backup to disk :)

I did add a $GREP -v "You have messages." to the end of the list jobs
line, because I think I saw it come across in one of the updates.

Hi Josh, Patrick!  Glad to see my efforts have helped someone! :)


Just wanted to comment that the part of the script where it runs the bconsole
"status dir" command will surely require a little "tuning" depending on your
environment and requirements.

On the initial, hurried posting of that script I was incorrectly grepping for
"is waiting on" OR "mount"  which would of course catch things like "is
waiting on storage..." and "is waiting on max client jobs..." and probably a
few others.

Surely these are cases that may occur in an environment where there are many
clients, and/or many jobs running simultaneously and might not represent an
issue that needs attention.

I plan on making the status messages being grepped a variable in the next
update so they are easily modified and not obscured/blended into the script
itself.
