Hi all, As most of my systems in the backup are not responding to 'ping', I've set the $PingCmd to /bin/true (as documented). The problem now is, that when a system is down, BackupPC still gets successful ping's and tries to backup the system. After a while, the blackout period is reached, and backup attempts stop (because of successful ping's). But I want the system to be in the backup when the system is up again (mostly I fix the issue in the morning, so my current solution is to start a manual backup).
Is there another option for the $PingCmd to use? An SSH check from the Nagios project? An SMB check? -- Toni Van Remortel Linux System Engineer @ Precision Operations NV +32 3 452 92 26 - [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
