Is there a way to run a script before/after a Job

Is there a way to run a script before/after a job like Prune / Garbage collect / sync / ...

Hey,

currently, it is not possible to run a script before or after a job, however, you may file a feature request for such a feature[1].

just for completeness:
added a comment to your request as this would also be useful for me (waking the PBS machine before job)
Best regards,
Otto

Has anyone figured out anything for this?

I'm in the same boat, but I need to dial a VPN connection prior to a sync job. (and ideally take it down after the job).

HI,I had a similar need, here's how I did it:
- defined a job (in my case a verify job) not scheduled directly by PBS (disabled)
- created a shell script:

#!/bin/bash
# 1. mount share where remote datastore resides
mount /mnt/pbsaws
# 2. run verify job by his ID (taken from PBS console)
proxmox-backup-manager verify-job run v-xxxxxxxx-yyyy
#3. unmount share
umount /mnt/pbsaws

the script is executed via crontab every week on Sunday
It should be easy for you to adapt the script to suit your needs.

I hope I was helpful,
Greetings
