Hi all!
I know scripting as much as pig understands spacecrafts so I'm looking if someone around here can help me.
Our backup system is based to Bacula server-client software. Workstation wakes up every night at 03:25 and data spooling starts at 03:30. It's surprisingly common that guys are working at that time
So I've been looking for couple of scripts but couldn't find any examples. First one should prevent users to shut down the computer and second enable it back. Basic idea is that users can't shutdown the computer while data is spooling to server and so on can't interrupt backup and spoil whole thing. At the moment our monthly full backup spooling time is between 9 to 10 hours for more than terabyte. I'm not sure at all is this kind of scripts even possibles.
If it matters workstation is running under OSX 10.6.3
Any help is very much appreciate.
