5.0.3 -- mostly on Centos 5 but with occasional Debian clients and
a few FreeBSD boxes (one of the SDs, but the one involved in all the
trouble is running Centos)
# yum list installed | grep bacula

Hmmm... Let me see. Here's an example of a machine being held up.
It's not very informative really -- looks completely normal, except the
start time is delayed by about 18h:

The run-before job is a one-liner script where an admin can create a
file as a way of temporarily blocking the nightly backups without
needing access to the bacula configs. In the normal course of events it
doesn't do anything.
Cheers,
Matthew
