Resolving The Problem

The following script is provided as-is and is unsupported. The script is for use with a Tivoli Storage Manager administrative client on a UNIX system.
auditvols.sh :

#!/bin/ksh
#######################################################################
#
# This script will start audit of volumes based on input file and will
# run "X" number of audit volumes concurrently. The script will check
# the number of running audit volume every 10 minutes and will start
# new ones as needed. The audit is run with default fix=no value.
#
# The script accepts 4 arguments,
#    1. The Tivoli Storage Manager administrator userid
#    2. The Tivoli Storage Manager administrator password
#    3. The input file which contains the volumes to audit, 1 per line
#    4. The maximum number of audit volumes to run concurrently
