Hi Allen,
Now I've got it so that backuppc can use the start-stop-daemon. I did
it by changing every occurrence of "start-stop-daemon" in the
/etc/init.d/backuppc script to "/sbin/start-stop-daemon" (for some reason I
can't make persistent changes to backuppc's PATH. I can't write any .bash*
files to the /home/backuppc directory! Could this be part of the problem?)
So now BackupPC starts properly when run by user backuppc.
BUT-----
I'm still getting the same errors! "0 bytes," "Cannot open: Permission
denied," and only trying to back up the /etc folder!
Does anybody know what is wrong?
Thank you.
