Script help

Post by karlbackups »

Hello,

I'm having difficulties setting up a custom script and was wondering, would anyone know how could I achieve below with one script?
Disable backup job.
Display status of this running job and keep updating its status every 15 seconds in powershell window
when backup finished or status changed to stopped, run another powershell script.

Thanks

1) Check this cmdlet.
2), 3) Try this:

Code: Select all

$Job = Get-VBRJob -Name "Name of your job"
do {
$Job.FindLastSession().State
Start-Sleep -Seconds 15
} while ($Job.FindLastSession().State -ne "Stopped")
#Your next command
Thanks.

Thanks, that all worked, but I think argument was suppose to be "-ne" rather than "-eq"

You're right indeed. Sometimes that happens when you're posting scripts created for testing purposes. :)

Updated the code already.
