Delay job on incoming connect?

[spadaj...@gmail.com]

Hi.

Is there a possibiliry to delay a job from a passive client?

I have a job defined simply like this:

Job {
  Name = "laptop"
  JobDefs = "DefaultJob"
  Schedule= "EarlyWeeklyCycle"
  Fileset = "LinuxDocs"
  Client = "laptop-fd"
  Priority = 5
  Run On Incoming Connect Interval = 12h
}

The client here has "connection from client to director=yes"

It's as simple as it gets.

And it works pretty good. The problem is that by default the laptop connects to wifi on power on and while it's OK for most times, sometimes (especially when I want to do the full backup) I want to have it connected with cable ethernet. The problem is that right after the power on the FD starts, connects to the director and the backup job is spawned. And if I switch my connection from the default wifi to cable, the job is left hanging on both sides (FD and dir) and I have to restart both the FD and director. It's not pretty.

I'm wondering if I can do something to make it all more robust.

You could try to implement you own logic based on
https://github.com/bareos/bareos/tree/master/contrib/misc/triggerjob

So let a python script check for connected clients and start a job when
you criteria is matched. You would than disable "Run On Incoming Connect
Interval".

Of course, using external scripting I can do anything ;-)

I was wondering if there is anything built in. I don't think so.
