Shutdown Script

[Jharvick]

Hello everybody,

i have this script to check if a job is running on Veeam Backup and Replication.:


$jobsworking = @(Get-VBRJob| Where {$_.GetLastState() -eq "Working"} )
if ($jobsworking.Count -gt 0) {
write-host "Jobs are still working"
} else {

write-host "Nothing is working, let's shutdown machines"
}


But it does not work for Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365.
What can i do?

Best Regards

Hi Jharvick,

First of all, VBO has its own PowerShell reference with its own specific cmdlets. Thus, instead of the 'Get-VBRJob', you need to use the 'Get-VBOJob' command; and to the best of my knowledge, it's only possible to get the jobs' LastRun or NextRun info. However, I'll double check on this and get back to you if there're any options to get the job's running state.

Keep in mind, VBO Archive service will wake up your computer. What would be the purpose of shutting down the computer?

Jharvick,

Upon a double check with the QC, in VBO, LastStatus parameter will give you the job's running/not running state.

Here is a finished working Powershell script to do what was asked for, I had the same wish as the original poster here.

Code: Select all

$jobsfinished = $false

while ($jobsfinished -eq $false)
    {
	$jobsworkingcount = @(Get-VBOJob | Where LastStatus -eq 'Running').Count
	if ($jobsworkingcount -eq 0)
	{
		write-host "All jobs have finished!"
		$jobsfinished = $true
	}
	else
	{
		write-host "$jobsworkingcount jobs are still working, sleeping for 60s..."
		Start-Sleep -s 60
	}
    }


write-host "Nothing is working, let's shutdown machine in 120 seconds..."
Start-Sleep -s 120
Stop-Computer -Force
