Hey guys. I have set up a replication server... all is running well..
Are there any simple scripts / cron jobs that could help me to, start a replication task as soon as the server is booted up and then shutdown the server once the replication task has finished? I'd prefer the shutdown task to not be time-based but rather when the actual replication task completes. Although if time-based is much easier then It could suffise.
The replication server is set to PULL data from the main appliance as I thought this would simplify the automation of starting the job shutting down the machine
I am trying to save energy and only have my main FreeNAS server running 24/7
Atm, my replication server is just built from spares I had lying around... no ipmi etc.
So atm I plan on just manually switching this server every day or two. ideally, I would be able to autostart it at specific times. But this should do for now.
Thanks
