Use the -w option to tell the command to block until the backup is
complete.  The return code of the bpbackup command will be the exit
status of the job just like the job monitor would show.  Note that for
multistreaming backups, you'll have multiple return codes for a single
bpbackup command, which doesn't make much sense so the returned value
is "undefined".

You'll also want to consider whether or not to use the -i option (this
is the same as launching a backup from the class menu) which must be
done on the master server, or not to use -i which must be done from
the client and is a user-directed backup (must have a user-directed
backup schedule, you specify files to backup, etc).
