Shell Script before Backup: time limit ?

[Harry Cover]

Hello Dave,

I have a smart BU schedule (cloning HD A -> B), starting after an Applescript (advanced Shell script before BU option).
This script copies a large folder to HD A (folder copy HD C -> A).
I have tested it but it fails.

What could have happened ?
Is there a time limit SD can wait, before starting its job ?
In that case, what is the time limit ?
What could be the solution ?

Thanks in advance.
Regards?

Fails how? I don't really have much information here...

Sorry.

More details:
1 - The preliminary copy (Applescript) did not complete. Don't ask me why...
2 - SD did not start its own smartBU.

I'd need to see the log, Harry; can you send it into the support email address?

OK, Dave.

I'll do that as soon as possible.

Alternatively, I could independantly schedule the Applescript initial copy, with Cron (outside SD), and then schedule SD secondary copy script, after the initial AS completion.

Thanks for your help.
Regards.

Sure, you can do that.

Here comes the error log:
<| 07:07:24 PM | Error | sh: line 1: /Users/Medecins/Documents/AppleScripts perso/Satur.SAUV 1.0.scpt: Permission denied>

Today no copy task was performed.
Neither the Applescrit one, nor the SD one...

Thanks for your superb support, Dave.

OK. That's not really a shell script. You need to create a shell script that runs that -- e.g:

#!/bin/sh
osascript "/Users/Medecins/Documents/AppleScripts perso/Satur.SAUV 1.0.scpt"
