This has the advantage of keeping the information all in one place instead of spreading it on all of the clients (plus you don't have to backup those .bat files); - stop antivirus with Client Run Before Job directive - use "& exit /b 0" to avoid interrupting the job if some of the previous commands (e.g. net stop antivirus) fails for some reason (a slow backup is better than no backup); - delay shutdown somewhat to let bacula-fd close the job properly; - use -f option in shutdown to force closing open applications. - remember the difference between RunAfterJob and ClientRunAfterJob (guess how I found that out... ;-) Let's recap: ClientRunBeforeJob = " & exit /b 0" ClientRunAfterJob = "shutdown -s -t 30 -f & exit /b 0" Thanks everybody for the useful suggestions. -- Marcello Romani -- vRanger cuts backup time in half-while increasing security.

The batch file is not needed: Client Run After Job = "shutdown -r -t 30 -f & exit /b 0" works just fine for us. We use -t 30 because otherwise sometimes shutdown does its job so fast, bacula-fd fails to report its completion which marks the whole job as failed. That "exit /b 0" trick is not strictly needed here but is anyway useful for running other commands (for instance, on Windows machines we stop the antivirus program before making the backup and start it afterwards--otherwise the performance is horrible) which for some reason may fail and we do not want it to fail the whole backup job as a consequence. -- vRanger cuts backup time in half-while increasing security.

Definitely... I use the following in my office:
Job {
Priority = 999
Name = Shutdown
Type = Admin
Run Before Job = "/etc/bacula/shutdown.sh"
Schedule = Shutdown
Messages = Standard
Storage = DLT
Fileset = Alles
Pool = Full
Client = goblin-fd
Max Start Delay = 20h
Rerun Failed Levels = No
}
Note the high priority value.
bacula/[EMAIL PROTECTED] /root # cat /etc/bacula/shutdown.sh
#!/bin/bash
if [ -f /var/bacula/server/allowshutdown ] ; then
echo "Shutdown will take place..."
/var/bacula/server/sched_downtime goblin "`date -d "now + 5 min" \
"+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"`" "`date "-d tomorrow 8:12"`" 1 0 0 bacula \
"goblin turns off until tomorrow morning..."
/sbin/shutdown -h -t 120 +6 &
else
echo "Shutdown will not happen (/var/bacula/server/allowshutdown
not present)"
fi
exit 0
Most of the stuff in the script is for Nagios integration and you can
safely ignore it... so your "Run Before Job" line could also simply be
"/sbin/shutdown -h -t 120 +6 &" (I'm unsure about the & for background
execution - at least it's better to have the shutdown in the background
so Bacula can correctly finish the job and won't have a running job left
in the catalog.)
