The script that I am trying to use works fine running as root, and with the import time command I am using within the DirStartUp.py.
I only run into this problem when bacula attempts to import this script. Bacula is running as root (at this time) so it should have all the rights I used when writing the original script I used for development. I think I received an email from another user stating that they experienced the problem before as well and it had something to do with dyn-load modules. Do you have any other ideas??

Oh, it is nice that it worked. I'll add that trick to the manual. Note, once you get the DirStartUp script to load, Bacula should be able to print all the Python errors, so this trick, in principle, should not be necessary if/when you have problems later. > > It looks to be due to the fact I want to import the time module into the > script.

The problem is that apparently, you have not loaded all parts of the Python time module. I suggest you try writing a small external Python script that you call that does what you want -- running it directly with Python, then once you get it working, integrate it with Bacula. Don't forget if you are running under root or some other user, Bacula may or may not have the right paths defined. > > David Wilson > Network Security Engineer > PAETEC Communications, Inc. > > -----Original Message----- > From: Kern Sibbald [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, June 12, 2006 9:54 AM > To: Wilson, David > Cc: bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: Re: [Bacula-users] Python Question > > On Monday 12 June 2006 14:15, Wilson, David wrote: > > I just finished reading through the dev manual and I checked to make > > sure that the following is true: > > > > 1.
