Shutting down Veeam after jobs complete

[Giacomo_N]

Hi all, I've the need to shutting down the Veeam server after all jobs complete successfully.
I've found this script into a 2012 post:

Code: Select all

PS C:\> Get-Content C:\jobs.txt | ForEach-Object {Get-VBRBackupSession | Select-
Object JobName, Result} if ((Get-VBRJob | ?{$_.Name -eq $LastJobName}).GetLastresult() -eq "Success" {shutdown.exe -s -t 1}

I've put a jobs name inside a .txt file, but not working.
Are they something new ?

Thanks

Hi,

I would suggest to do that in a different way:

1. Schedule a script in Windows Task scheduler that would start AFTER the last job starts.
2. The script should keep retrieving job sessions with results other than finished/failed/warning constantly.
3. Once the output is empty trigger server shutdown.

I am really curious why would you need that?

Thanks!

Hi Ptide,

thank you for the reply, in answer to your question, I want to shutting down Veeam server to save resource during working hours.

I'm trying to play with PS scripts as you suggested, but I was never good at that
Following the PS example I can get the last job status with this command:

Code: Select all

PS C:\Users\administrator.FERCAD> $job = Get-VBRJob -Name "BKP-Job03"
PS C:\Users\administrator.FERCAD> Get-VBRBackupSession | Where {$_.jobId -eq $job.Id.Guid} | Sort EndTimeUTC -Descending
 | Select -First 1

Please, can you give me another small help ?


Thank you in advance

I think there is an easier way:

1) Get jobs
2) Check if any are running, using IsRunning property or GetLastState() method
3.1) If yes, suspend script activity, using Start-Sleep cmdlet; return to step 1
3.2) If no, shutdown the server

Thanks.

Hi Eremin,

I'm try to find "isrunning" property, please can you give me a little more help to build the script?

Thank you

IsRunning:

Code: Select all

Get-VBRJob | where {$_.IsRunning -eq $False}

GetLastState():

Code: Select all

Get-VBRJob | where {$_.GetlastState() -eq "Stopped"}

Thanks!
