Have your event handler check for the existence of a file on disk. If the file is there do not back up logs just return. Then the script that starts onbar, or the storage manager process, can touch the file before starting onbar and remove it afterward. In addition, the event handler can also touch and remove the file, preventing two copies from trying to start up if logs are filling very quickly as can happen during bulk loading operations. The onbar startup script can also check for the file and wait for the eventhandler to remove it so it will know that the last completed log has been backed up already. Art S. Kagel
