To come to a final solution, should I remove the "Alert Command = "tapeinfo -f %c | findstr TapeAlert"" from bacula-sd.conf and run the tapeinfo.exe from the "RunAfterJob"? There, I could put a script file where the Bacula Storage Service is stopped, then the tapeinfo.exe is executed and then the Bacula Storage Service is started again. I think this should be possible, but I also think this would make the config files (more) incompatible between Unix and Windows. Is there someone out there who is using the tapeinfo.exe under Windows? Or should I post this question in the devel list? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
