Networker archiving GUI vs. CL

Hi -

  I'm running Digital's NSR V3.2a and have an archiving module.

If I go to Customize -> Archive Request... and then Create a new
request, there are fields there for:

Status:
   Start Now Start Later
Start Time:

and

Archive Completion: (a command to run after archiving is finished).


If I look at the nsrarchive man page - these two options are not
listed as available from the CL interface. However the CL interface
allows you to give a symbolic name to the archive (-N), an annotation
(-T) and a path location. The GUI appears to use the path as the
symbolic name.

My questions are:

  Are there any undocumented switches to the nsrarchive CL interface
that would allow me to archive at a give time and allow me to run a
program when finished?

  If I archive through the GUI - is there anyway to then change the
symbolic name so that I can archive something in the same path at a
later time without overwriting the original data?


  (I'm trying to set up something where the command run after the
archiving schedules another job - which generates more data - which
then calls for it to be archived .... without resorting to using a cron
mechanism)

thanks
