Running scripts on client

Progressed

Hi all,

i came from bacula 11 with baculum 11 and did a clean install of bacularis with bacula 13.04. I ran into a problem where the situation did work before, but running a script on the client like so with this error message in the log:

08-Feb 08:33 backup-fd JobId 68: shell command: run ClientBeforeJob "/opt/bacula/scripts/test.sh"
08-Feb 08:33 backup-fd JobId 68: Error: Runscript: ClientBeforeJob returned non-zero status=208. ERR=No such file or directory

running the script on the client with sudo -u bacula /opt/bacula/scripts/test.sh does work as expected. So im currently running in a loop. Anybody knows how to tackle this issue?

running this command shows bacula has access:

sudo -u bacula ls -lah /opt/bacula/scripts/
total 20K
-rw-r--r-- 1 bacula bacula 243 Feb 12 2024 btraceback.gdb
-rw-r--r-- 1 bacula bacula 140 Feb 12 2024 common-functions
-rwxr-xr-x 1 bacula bacula 60 Feb 8 07:04 test.sh

Hi @Progressed,

Welcome to the Bacularis user group.

For this error, I would propose to check shebang of the test.sh script.

head -n1 /opt/bacula/scripts/test.sh

Could you check if the shell interpreter path exists?

It can be that there is for example #!/bin/dash while dash is not installed or dash is installed but in different path.

Is it this case?

Thanks in advance for letting us know.

Hi @Progressed,

To check in you can also try to add in the Runscript section the shell execution, for example like here:

Command = "bash /opt/bacula/scripts/test.sh"

Command = "dash /opt/bacula/scripts/test.sh"

Is it working now when you run the job?

IM sorry. this is the stupidest post i ever made. I've been blindly staring on what could be the issue i didn't even see i made a booboo configuring the job. i did find another issue though I'm gladly posting in a new thread 🙂
