Hello,
Bacula does not run a shell when it executes a "command" as you are
doing. Consequently shell characters such as * will be treated as
themselves rather than shell characters (in this case a wild card).
This is because such interpretation is done by the shell. So the
solution is to either prefix the command with a call to a shell (lots of
escaping to do) or *much* simpler, run the command in a shell script
that you execute. If I am not mistaken, there are nice examples in the
manual. Obviously (I hope), if you can be more specific and avoid wild
cards you will not need a shell command prefix or a script. I am not
patient enough to work out all the escaping to pass shell characters
correctly to the shell, so I always use a script when doing complicated
stuff.
Best regards,
Kern

Thank you for the reply.
Yes, I've done all the debug steps I can think of.
Permissions is a good point though. The file permissions are 600
root:root. Only root can remove the file.
Bacula-fd process runs as root so I'm expecting it will be able to
remove the file, right?
SELinux is disabled.

Hi Peter,
Have you checked if the job falis or not? The Client Run After Jog
do not runs if the job falis. You can use the bellow if you want
that the script runs despite of the job falis or not:
Run Script {
RunsWhen = After
RunsOnFailure = yes
Commnad = "/bin/rm -f /backup/daily/mysql-Slave*"
}
Have you tried to run the command at the commnad line? Have you
checked permissions? Have you checked any messages at Bacula's log
file? Is the mysqldump generating the file at /backup/daily/?
Best regards,
Ana

In Bacula 5.2.13 I use
Client Run Before Job = "mysqldump ...."
to dump the database before the backup starts.
After it is complete I use
Client Run After Job = "/bin/rm -f /backup/daily/mysql-Slave*"
with the intend to remove the backup file due to lack of free
space to keep more then one backup.
The backup report shows that it ran the command:
18-Mar 09:39 db1-fd JobId 12980: shell command: run
ClientAfterJob "/bin/rm -f /backup/daily/mysql-Slave*"
Unfortunately the file is not removed.
Any idea? Is it the use of wildcard?
Thanks,
