So you are looking for something to run when ALL of the backups are
finished rather that at the end of the backup for each machine?

I don't think there is anything built-in that will do that.  You can
monitor the BackupPC_serverMesg output or monitor the process list for
dump processes.  Note that the output of BackupPC_serverMesg is a valid
Perl datastructure, so you can load it into a Perl script and then read
the data structure rather than trying to parse it manually with a bash
script or something.

And just for the halibut:

#!/usr/bin/perl
$status = `/usr/local/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_serverMesg status jobs`;
($data) = $status =~ /Got reply: (\%Jobs = \(.*\);)/;
eval $data;
delete $Jobs{' trashClean '};
if (not %Jobs) {
    print "Shutting down now\n";
#    exec('shutdown -h now');
}

Not fully tested, but I think it'll work.  You can run it as-is to test
things.  Once you are sure it is working right, uncomment the shutdown line.
