Hello all, I am running a bash script after my backup jobs. It notifies me via [ntfy.sh](http://ntfy.sh) (resp. my own instance of it). What I haven’t got yet is how to pass a log of each job to my curl script to attach it to my POST or to inspect it in bash. I already tried using DUPLICATI\_\_RESULTFILE and got something like _/tmp/dup-ec8c287f-9dd4-4d18-9a00-4f53c81074d7_, but the file given by the variable is never there (and I looked for it in the docker container of course). I don’t think it matters but I am running Duplicati as a docker container on an Ubuntu host. Any ideas? ---

If someone needs it: I found a solution or a workaround by using Duplistatus on the same docker host and network: [https://hub.docker.com/r/wsjbr/duplistatus](https://hub.docker.com/r/wsjbr/duplistatus) > [@rocket New Tool Release: duplistatus – A Self-Hosted Duplicati Dashboard with API Support](https://forum.duplicati.com/t/new-tool-release-duplistatus-a-self-hosted-duplicati-dashboard-with-api-support/20731/6): > > I’m not sure the machine stats are coping very well with multiple back jobs on a single machine: It has built-in ntfy support and I don’t have to fiddle around with bash scripts anymore. ---

Welcome to the forum @zaphod1988-2 > [@zaphod1988-2](#): > > I don’t have to fiddle around with bash scripts anymore. I’m glad you found a solution, and my comment is script-oriented, but when and how is this: > [@zaphod1988-2](#): > > (and I looked for it in the docker container of course). I don’t use Docker, but I didn’t think `run-script-after` could look anywhere but in container. If you’re looking manually, you’re probably too late but how do you know file name to look for? Regardless, Windows `run-script-after` gives the expected result. A result file is temporary: ```plaintext echo %DUPLICATI__RESULTFILE% > C:\tmp\resultfile_name.txt copy %DUPLICATI__RESULTFILE% C:\tmp\resultfile.txt ``` ---

Hi, the variable DUPLICATI\_\_RESULTFILE contains the file path for the log file AFAIK. If I run my script, a path like /_tmp/dup-ec8c287f-9dd4-4d18-9a00-4f53c81074d7_ is given, but the file isn’t there in the container’s /tmp directory. As the whole duplicati application is running in the docker container, the file can certainly not be created in the host’s /tmp (where I looked for it nevertheless just to be sure). Copying it in the script also failed as the file was not found, I tried that already. ---

Environment variables provided to `run-script-after` script are meant for use in that run. > [@zaphod1988-2](#): > > Copying it in the script also failed as the file was not found, I tried that already. If you can confirm that this was [run-script-after option](https://docs.duplicati.com/community-docs/community-docs-advanced-options#run-script-after), I guess I can try Linux but not Docker. ---

Ah sorry. Yes, it is/was run by `run-script-after`. ---

Tested equivalent script on 2.2.0.0 on Linux Mint 21.3 (a Ubuntu derivative). It works. My `cp` during script got results file. Afterwards, results file is gone. If I break the script by asking to copy a known missing file, I get the warning: > Warning while running test1 > 2025-11-11 07:33:13 -05 - [Warning-Duplicati.Library.Modules.Builtin.RunScript-StdErrorNotEmpty]: The script “/tmp/resultfile.bash” reported error messages: cp: cannot stat ‘/truly\_missing’: No such file or directory On old UI, this is a yellow popup. On new UI, open Notifications in bottom right. As message describes, this is just reporting whatever stderr got, here from `cp`. Is this the style of warning you saw, except with plausible result file /tmp/dup\_\*? What Docker image is used here? LinuxServer chose an odd temp file location.
