we discussed that (not on bacula-devel) on 11/07/2006, and we
had thought that it was good a idea. I had never thought of using this kind of
thing with this option (it's a good idea to save money)
At that time, the update of the catalogue could take several hours, and
so applications have to wait for nothing.

I will look how to do this. I think i could have some new options like
RunScript {
RunsSoon = yes|no # yes by default and set to no on ClientRunAfterJob
}
But with the new quick release fd feature, i don't know if it's very useful.
Or i can add this in the 1.3X/2.X compatibility layer. ie if you are using old
protocol, your command will be run at the end of job.

ok
