# Usage: exist_backup <database> <target directory> <java home location>
#
# Uses  the backup class in the java webapp to dump the  database to disc.
# The directory tree of dumped files is put in
# the target directory and is named using the current date and time.
#
# Script normally run as user badc
#
# History:
#
#   Completely re-written to use the tomcat webapps version of exist rather than 
#    the shell script supplied only with the source version.
