External Scripting for OS X Client

[asatnik11]

Does anyone know if it is possible to do external scripting with the Mac OS X retrospect client? I would like to create a script that automatically puts the machine to sleep after a backup and this would be a good method for achieving this.

 

It is a pity that the OS X client can not do an automatic sleep or shutdown natively; the only reason our computers run 24/7 is for them to get backed up.

 

Thanks,

Well, Andrew, it would be a rather simple hack to modify the existing Python script that shuts the client computer down after backup.
