Sure Backup - Verify Linux Service

[falkob]

Hello community !

I was wondering if anyone already wrote a script for testing a linux service.

My goal is the following:

- Run a Sure Backup Job for a specific Linux VM
- Have a custom script which checks the status of a specific service (systemctl status specific_service)
- If the specific service is running, the Sure Backup should be successfull
- If the specific service is not running, the Sure Backup should be failed

From my understanding so far, i need to create a custom script for this Job which connects to the VM and checks the service.

Sure_Backup_Linux.bat (added in the job)

Code: Select all

"C:\temp\putty.exe -ssh root@IP.V4.Address -m C:\Sure_Backup_Scripts\Script\sure_linux_test.sh

sure_linux_test.sh (triggered by putty with -m)

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
systemctl status service

I have not tried it until now, i just want to know if iam on the right track.

And of course, how can i "tell Veeam" if the output of the "status" is running that the SureBackup Job is successful. Also the other way with a failed one.

Thank you very much !

Best Regards

Hi,

Haven't tested though, but your approach looks like it should work.

Please check these two threads for additional considerations: thread-1, thread-2

Thanks!
