I had this problem from the start. I ended up with a line in my RunBefore script which disabled the backup job: echo "disable job=Job1" | /usr/local/bacula/bin/bconsole This disables any further scheduling of Job1 but leaves the current one running. And in the RunAfter script I have echo "run job=BackupCatalog yes" | /usr/local/bacula/bin/bconsole echo "enable job=Job1" | /usr/local/bacula/bin/bconsole The BackupCatalog job is set 'enabled=no' in bacula-dir.conf I'm sure I saw some discussion on the devel list of upcoming facilities which would disable a scheduled job if some other job was still running, but I'm damned if I can find the relevant emails Cheers, Terry ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
