Hi, i looked at the console commands and did not find a way to get client ip address. a nice new command would be:
getip client=<name> background: we have configured about 25 staff workstations. i cannot control when users power-off their machine (overnight, weekend, vacation, ...) every night bacula sends some backup error emails containing "Unable to connect to Client". i don't like to read this error emails everyday, so it is likely to oversight real backup errors. what i like todo: write a script which disables/enables backup job depending on host alive check (ping exit status) the script loops over group of clients defined in bweb. client names are select via sql from database tables Client,client_group,client_group_member. but i cannot get client address from database and i cannot use bconsole and i don't like to parse config files (bacula has already done this job) the script would be started from cron a few minutes before the normal backup schedule for the group. it generates a report which lists all unreachable disabled clients. best regards ulrich ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Return on Information: Google Enterprise Search pays you back Get the facts. http://p.sf.net/sfu/google-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Bacula-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-devel
