The script also helps canceling the job if the client is not online (laptops). Well, this is done by the internal timeout ... anyway. Maybe its not quite the best approach, i need to rethink this.

Re: [Bacula-users] Character Substitution
Richard Scobie pisze: I have a Client Run After Job which runs a bash script which ends up writing a file on the client, %i_%v.txt It all works except the substitution is not occuring and it is literally writing the file %i_%v.txt. Is this expected? How do you create this file? In Client Run After Job directive %v will not be replaced because it can be replaced only on Director side. So if you has: Client Run After Job = /path/script.sh %i %v than %v will be empty.

So if you has: Client Run After Job = /path/script.sh %i %v than %v will be empty. OK thanks. I actually have the %i_%v inside the shell script, so along with the reason above, it probably explains why %i is not being substituted either.

Re: [Bacula-users] Character substitution changed?
Am Mittwoch, 4. Februar 2009 schrieb Maxime: Hello, It seems that %n character substitution changed from version 2.4.3 to 2.4.4 (%n = Job name). There are 2 directors in production which both have these lines in bacula-dir.conf (in a JobDefs resource): RunAfterJob = /usr/local/bin/bacula_job_status.sh %c %i %e %n %l bacula_job_status.sh is simple, it only does (on both server) : echo $(date +%F) $@ /var/bacula/working/backup_status If I take a look at the backup_status files, they differ : 2.4.3: 2009-02-04 backup02c-fd 132 OK job_backup02c Incremental 2.4.4: 2009-02-04 backup01c-fd 142 OK job_backup01c.2009-02-04_00 Incremental So %n is not substituted the same way. Date is appended in 2.4.4 to the job name. As I also use it for bootstrap file name, it changes everyday and bootstrap files are not usable. same problem here, i'm using jobdefs with client scripts where the name (%n) was used for backup of xen-images (name of the xen machine). Now i must workaround this (remove date with sed). Please change back to 2.4.3 behaviour and provide a new replacement variable with current-date... -- Markus Schulz -- ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
