Hello, We are having a problem with system crashes during backups that we'd like some help with if possible. The situation: PowerMac G4 Mac OS 9.0.4 Canadian French FirstClass Intranet Server v5.7 Gold Retrospect 4.2 DDS-3 tape drive Adaptec SCSI card We have written a Retrospect Event Handler that executes 2 other applescript applications on scriptStart and scriptEnd. This script is reproduced below. The startScript handler runs, but the system freezes during the Verification phase of the backup. The log shows the following Retrospect version 4.2 autolaunch at 2000/07/27 03:00 + Normal Backup using EasyScript Backup at 2000/07/27 03:00 To backup set Backup Set AŠ - 2000/07/27 03:00:34: Copying FirstClass Post Office8001 on Macintosh HD 2000/07/27 03:08:21: Comparing FirstClass Post Office8001 on Macintosh HD The really weird thing is that if we remove the Retrospect Event Handler, the backup works properly every time. Both of the applescript applications called during the Retrospect Event Handler run fine stand-alone (FC-Pause Mirroring, and FC-Continue Mirroring). All 3 AppleScripts are located in the "Dossier Système-->Préférences-->Retrospect" folder Anybody have any suggestions? Thanks in advance Ian ======================================================================= Retrospect Event Handler ------------------------ on scriptStart given scriptName:theScript, startDate:theDate activate run application "FC-Pause Mirroring" end scriptStart on scriptEnd given scriptName:theScript, scriptErrorMessage:theScriptErrorMessage, errorCount:theErrorCount activate run application "FC-Continue Mirroring" end scriptEnd on RetrospectQuit() quit -- Please leave this in so that the Retrospect Event Handler cleans up properly end RetrospectQuit -- ---------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives: <http://list.working-dogs.com/lists/retro-talk/> Problems?: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
