The point is that Bacula never gets to backing up any data if the process gets killed. When I kill the hanging process with -9, Bacula prompts in an e-mail: ... Error: Runscript: BeforeJob returned non-zero status=9. ERR=Child died from signal 9: Kill, unblockable It looks like the script hangs, but I can't see anything that could possibly hang in the script (anything besides waiting for bacula-dir's output). So I guess that bacula-dir process executing the script, hangs. What's the reason, I couldn't guess and when I make a bug report for that I got an answer that 3rd-party scripts are not supported. -- Silver ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Register Now & Save for Velocity, the Web Performance & Operations Conference from O'Reilly Media.
