Yes, exactly. > However, this causes nasty effects when ClientRunAfterJob is used to > remotely switch off the client (think backing up powered off > workstations in an office at night, with a RunBefore script to switch > them on via wake-on-lan), because after despooling is complete the > director complains it cannot connect to the fd and simply reschedules > the job. If you want send your command at the real end of backup, you can use RunAfterJob with some ssh or smb command.

The "quick release of FD" project have been implemented by kern, i think it will help you.
