it's not a matter of external script failure handling : it's a matter of whether bacula should reflect job status (ok with warnings) in the subject of the mail... If you want to backup a directory, when this directory does no longer exist, bacula issues a warning in the *body* of the message, but nothing in the subject warns you of this "error" As the OP, I think it would be great to have this kind of information in the subject, or maybe there's another way to be alerted when this happens ? have a nice day ! -- seb ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
