Hi Fred,
Unfortunately, Legato's biggest downfall is its lack of reporting as
standard.
It is not possible to list the configuration to text.

You can report on  volume lists, index lists etc.. but , configuration...
no....

One of the most stupid things I seen in any software.

Can't shout too much, I use it daily!

Rubbish.

# echo 'print type: NSR directive' | nsradmin -i -
type: NSR directive;
name: Unix with compression directives;
comment: ;
directive: "
<< / >>
skip: tmp_mnt
+skip: core
+compressasm: .
<< /tmp >>
skip: .?* *
[...etc...]

Please don't blame your own lack of knowledge on the product itself...

"man nsradmin" for more details.

You call that a report! I call it a data dump.

I mean, try sorting out the results of this when sent to a printer:

echo 'print type:NSR client' | nsradmin -i -

Poor layout, not an ounce of readability..

If I gave that to my Boss he would shoot me!

So learn Perl.

Personally I love the format that nsradmin outputs in - it's very easy
to parse - especially in perl.

If you don't want so much data dumped, then RTFM.  Only want the client
names?
# echo "show name
print type:NSR client" | nsradmin -i -

Want to know what OS and what version of the NetWorker client all of your
machines are running?
# echo "show name; client OS type; NetWorker version
print type:NSR client" | nsradmin -i -

> If I gave that to my Boss he would shoot me!

So you expect a program to give you output in exactly the format your
boss wants?  Personally I'd rather have it output it in a format which
can easily be parsed into whatever _my_ boss wants (which is probably
different to what your boss wants). Perhaps I'm just being greedy...
