Stop backup jobs if run after a specified time ?

[Puffy]

Hi,

Wondering whether is there a way to cancel a job if it runs too long automatically.

Thanks.

You can change your client read timeout, media mount time out, media read timeout, any of this can cancel a job, but it will fail with a different error based on the timeout.

Hmm...I was thinking maybe there is a command to do that like

mybpclient -policy <name> -hoursago 10 -canceljob

Just a thought :p

This can be done via a cron job that kicks off a script to look for jobs running after X time

hello Puffy,

you can use the command bpdbjobs to look for an active job

you can use the command bpdbjobs to cancel an active job
