The quotation marks and semicolon should not be used inside in the CGI editor - those are only if you are editing the config.pl settings directly.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Problem, Backuppc is not executing a defined command before running a backup
Executing DumpPreUserCmd: '/usr/local/bin/startbkpemail.sh nxweb05 incr'; Exec of '/usr/local/bin/startbkpemail.sh nxweb05 incr'; failed Did not see this before - any ideas on what would cause it to fail? When I run it from the command line it works just fine.

[BackupPC-users] Problem, Backuppc is not executing a defined command before running a backup
I wanted to be able to notify a group of people when any backup starts or ends, so I did some googling and found an archived email on this list about how I might do it. I made a script with the following contents as a test and named it startbkpemail.sh (just used the example name from the post) and added the a line '/usr/local/bin/startbkpemail.sh $host $type'; in the DumpPreUserCmd field in the host config - but it is not executing it. Any suggestions? The permissions on the file are 777 for testing so I know that is not the problem. #!/bin/sh # SUBJECT="Backup for Production Server: $1 has started."
