I am supposed to be seeing a backup report yet I am getting all this screen noise.......

Here is my code that I hacked..

#!/usr/bin/perl

bpstart_notify.loc1_server1_nt.bat
@REM this script is called by NetBackup when a backup is initiated
@REM this script:
@REM    receives 4 parameters, clientname, classname, schedname and sc
+hedtype
@REM    must be executable by a user with Administrator rights
@REM    should exit with 0 upon successful completion
@REM
@REM If this script will not complete within a few seconds, you should
+ set
@REM the BPSTART_TIMEOUT in the NetBackup configuration gui on the ser
+ver.
@REM You should also be aware that the time taken by this script will 
+delay
@REM the initiation of other client's backups.
@REM
@REM - This script only runs on NT 4.0 and succeeding versions of NT. 
+ You must
@REM - have command extensions enabled.  Check the following registry 
+entry:
@REM - HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor\EnableEx
+tensions
@REM -
@REM - It should be set to 0x1 or you may have problems running this s
+cript.
@setlocal ENABLEEXTENSIONS
@set LISTPATHS="%~dp0\goodies\listpaths"
@for /F "delims=|" %%p in ('%LISTPATHS% /s NB_MAIL_SCRIPT') do @set NB
+_MAIL_SCRIPT="%%p"
@set OUTF="d:\srvapps\veritas\backupresults\bpstart_notify.loc1_server
+1_nt.txt"
@REM - Get date and time.
@REM
@for /F "tokens=1*" %%p in ('date /T') do @set DATE=%%p %%q
@for /F %%p in ('time /T') do @set DATE=%DATE% %%p
@REM
@echo "This is a start_notify script" > %OUTF%
@REM
@REM  Unremark the following line and add you batch file, command file
+ etc.
net stop "nai epolicy orchestrator agent" >> %OUTF%
net stop "network associates mcshield" >> %OUTF%
net stop "network associates alert manager" >> %OUTF%

I have 22 years experience and have never seen anything like this! I am beginning to wonder if PERL even works!

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
