The point is that Bacula never gets to backing up any data if the process gets
killed. When I kill the hanging process with -9, Bacula prompts in an e-mail:
... Error: Runscript: BeforeJob returned non-zero status=9. ERR=Child died
from signal 9: Kill, unblockable
It looks like the script hangs, but I can't see anything that could possibly
hang in the script (anything besides waiting for bacula-dir's output). So I
guess that bacula-dir process executing the script, hangs. What's the reason,
I couldn't guess and when I make a bug report for that I got an answer that
3rd-party scripts are not supported.
