NetBackup - Listing all clients and their versions

Quick Post -
After sorting through a few old files I found a nice little bash script that I used in the past. I was tasked with updating the NetBackup Linux clients to the most recent version which for me was 7.5. One of the nice features about having the NetBackup master installed on a RHEL server was that I could push client updates to my Linux servers without needing root (or any account) access. The command to do this is update_clients which will need a -ClientList parameter passed as well. As -ClientList suggests it needs a list of clients. To make my life easier for creating a list of clients I used this script to output every client and other details that I used to format and filter the clients I needed. Check it out!
