Yes, I agree.

It took me a bit longer - but after thinking about it more I have come up with the following RunBeforeJob = "/etc/bacula/holiday_check.sh" where holiday_check.sh looks like this: #! /usr/bin/python from period import is_holiday, in_period import sys if is_holiday(holidays="/etc/bacula/holidays"): print "Holiday Detected: Job not run." sys.exit(1) print "Holiday check passes." sys.exit(0) and the following appears in the Bacula logs: 06-Mar 13:52 testlet-dir: No prior Full backup Job record found. 06-Mar 13:52 testlet-dir: No prior or suitable Full backup found. Doing FULL backup. 06-Mar 13:52 testlet-dir: RunBefore: Holiday Detected: Job not run. 06-Mar 13:52 testlet-dir: TESTER.2006-03-06_13.52.21 Fatal error: RunBeforeJob error: ERR=Child exited with code 1 Bingo ! - Tx Arno. I still think there is a way to integrate this into the Python framework in Bacula, but again, I am not the guy to do it.
