Re: [BackupPC-users] How to stop starting new backup jobs?

Hi,

maybe not the better way, but you could obtain that using DumpPreUserCmd and DumpPostUserCmd
You need also to set UserCmdCheckStatus = 1;
In the DumpPreUserCmd, you can use a diy script that:
1. verifiy if a specified lock file is present or not (backup-in-progress flag);
or you could check for folder "new": if it exists, means that a new backup is in progress.
Usually it is located in host dir : $TopDir/pc/$host
2. if new folder or lock file exists, return non-zero number : in this way the new coming backup is aborted.
If you are using a lock file (and not the new folder) as backup-in-progress flag, in the
DumpPostUserCmd use a diy script that deletes the lock file.
Hope this helps
regards
