Hi Brett,
I think running the ldapsearch, and checking for error 32 is the
easiest option.
That should work, but if that's still not sufficient, if you
create your
own task entry, you can use the "ttl" attribute to set the time to live
after the task is completed
I know you're not hitting this, but there are times when the task will
stick around for a minute after its completed. In that case, you can
search for the task, and request the attribute "nsTaskStatus". Then
grep the value for "Backup finished", or "Backup failed".
Regards,
Mark
