It seems that what ever string is after the "NotifyScript =" option in bbackupd.conf file is just kicked of like a run command.

If you use a *.cmd or a *.sh file this is not a problem.
However now the prefered way to do this on a windows machine is to use a *.vbs file.
If you run a *.vbs file in a command promt it does nothing.
You need to put the command "cscript" in front of it to make it do anything.

If I use boxi to configure the bbackupd.conf file and use the option to select the NotifiSysAdmin.vbs script, it is configured to do nothing.
NotifyScript = c:\program files\box backup\NotifiSysAdmin.vbs does nothing.
NotifyScript = cscript "c:\program files\box backup\NotifiSysAdmin.vbs" will work.

The way Achim worked arround this problem is ok only it realy is a workaround.
BB kicks of the given command line AND parses an argument with it, like start, stop or backup-error.

Now the *.cmd file should not only kick of the *.vbs script but must also be setup to take an argument and parse that to the *.vbs script.
Otherwise it would just be some afterscript that say's nothing about the status of the backup that was just done.

Although Achim has a pretty solution to the current problem, I think if you leave it this way it doesn't realy make sense.

So that's what I meant that should be chanched in boxi.
Or maybe BB should put the "cscript" command in frond of the command when it detects that it is running on windows.
