Peter: If you run caffinate on 10.9, it runs in the foreground. Same with “pmset noidle” command. You have to take some measures to get it to run in the background on the client. This took a little fooling around on my part before I got it right.
Here’s what I use in my bacular-dir.conf: Client Run Before Job = "bash -c \"/usr/bin/pmset noidle &> /dev/null < /dev/null &\”” Client Run After Job = "/usr/bin/killall pmset" That should put the pmset command into the background, then kill it after the job has been run. Watch the double quotes. They have to be escaped. It’s a little tricky to get bacula to run a “Client Run Before” command into the background. You have to redirect it’s input and output. If I’m seeing it correctly, I think you’ve got a space between the & and the > right after “noidle". They should be right on top of each other, no spaces.
