Well - using exactly your format gets me one step closer, but still the same problem: The entry in the .conf file: ClientRunBeforeJob = "\"C:\\Program Files\\Symantec\\Symantec Endpoint Protection\\Smc.exe\" -stop -p InsertSecretPasswordHere" The error: 30-Oct 09:32 client-fd JobId 20921: shell command: run ClientRunBeforeJob ""C:\Program Files\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection\Smc.exe" -stop -p InsertSecretPasswordHere" 30-Oct 09:32 client-fd JobId 20921: ClientRunBeforeJob: 'C:\PROGRA~1\Symantec\Symantec' is not recognized as an internal or external command, 30-Oct 09:32 client-fd JobId 20921: ClientRunBeforeJob: operable program or batch file. 30-Oct 09:32 client-fd JobId 20921: Error: Runscript: ClientRunBeforeJob returned non-zero status=1. ERR=Unknown error 30-Oct 09:30 bacula-dir JobId 20921: Fatal error: Bad response to ClientRunBeforeJob command: wanted 2000 OK RunBefore , got 2905 Bad RunBeforeJob command. The fact that it gets past "'C:\Program' is not a valid (blah blah blah'" is an improvement, but now it's throwing a tantrum over the spaces deeper in the path. Oddly, ANY change I try making to the line (so far) - including even just enclosing the whole thing including the parameters in \" rather than just the path to the executable, as well as trying to explicitly escape the spaces in "Symantec\\ Endpoint\\ Protection" goes back to the original error: ClientRunBeforeJob: 'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command Is this just plain a bug in bacula-fd.exe or bacula=dir parsing the "RunBeforeJob" entry? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
