    Our hosting vendor backs up and reboots our Unix system every night. We have recurring WH130, PO120, ED502 jobs set up for every 15 minutes that
    go into recovery and so every morning there is a clean up to get everything going again. So we are wondering how everyone else handles the situation, do we need to set up a different recdef for each 15 minute increment of the day and then set that to run once a day in order to not have any jobs run while the backup / reboot is happening? If so, is there any way to create a load file and upload all of those recdefs? This is new since we converted from Windows to Unix so we are just trying to find the best way to handle it.
    Thanks for any help.

      We have a cron job that runs a jqsubmit every 30 minutes outside of the backups, eg:

      cron:
      0,30 3-21 * * * commandtobeexecuted

      script:
      #!/usr/bin/ksh
      /law/env/gen/bin/jqsubmit username jobname

        Option1- use jqaction to recover needs recovery jobs.

        Option2-stop those jobs, delete recdef table. After backup complete, use jqsubmit those jobs again.

        We are on AIX. Last reboot, may be 2 years ago.
