+ (ET1668436) Closing the NetBackup-Java Administration console does not
terminate the NBSL session. It can cause the NBPROXY processes to run for
the next 24 hours and eventually time out. In addition, if you frequently
start and stop the NetBackup-Java Administration console, the number of
running NBPROXY processes increases the load on the respective NetBackup
Master Server and eventually affects the performance of the Master Server.

terminate the NBSL session. It can cause the NBPROXY processes to run for
the next 24 hours and eventually time out. In addition, if you frequently
start and stop the NetBackup-Java Administration console, the number of
running NBPROXY processes increases the load on the respective NetBackup
Master Server and eventually affects the performance of the Master Server.
