Stop job pre-job script

[bctak25]

Morning,

I have a pre-job powershell script that runs several checks on the server. Is there a way to abort the calling job depending on the powershell exit code or another method?

Is there a way to pass a message to the warning email instead of "Pre-job script terminated with exit code 1" ?

Thank you

No direct way, but you can use native powershell methods to find the calling job:

Code: Select all

$ScriptPID = Get-WMIObject win32_process | Where-Object {$_.ProcessID -eq $PID}
$ParentProc = Get-WMIObject win32_process | Where-Object {$_.ProcessID -eq $ScriptPID.ParentProcessId}
$JobID = $ParentProc.CommandLine.Split()[7].Trim('"')
$Job = Get-VBRJob | Where-Object {$_.id -eq $JobID}

From there I suppose you can pass the job to Stop-VBRJob to stop the job.

Not within Veeam. Veeam simply passes the provided script and has the host OS execute it, and then Veeam responds based on the exit code. You can exit your script with a custom exit code in Powershell to pass some information in the exit code.
