no, there's a value set in config.pl: $Conf{ClientTimeout} = 7200; (at least this is the default from 2.1.2) which says that if a job runs that may seconds, it'll be killed after that point. it's pretty commonly upped, since the default is 2 hours. My jobs sometimes run more than 24 hours (tho usually that means something is wrong). if a job runs that long tho, it'll hold up the backups of all the other machines until it's done. (BackupPC_nightly has to run after the last job; and then the next set of backups can begin). -- Carl Soderstrom Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
