I have developed a "self provisioning" ability whereby users go to a secure
page on BackupPC, enter their credentials, and their workstation they
logged in from automatically gets added to /etc/BackupPC/hosts. However,
though it's seen and selectable via the BackupPC web page, trying to
initiate an immediate full backup produces "Host unknown" error, which I
have learned that the backuppc daemon is not aware of the change to the
hosts file.
I see that the perl module,
/usr/share/BackupPC/lib/BackupPC/CGI/ReloadServer.pm allows the daemon to
become aware of the hosts file change. How can I call this module from the
SSI bash script I have that does the provisioning of the workstation? Or,
how else may I gracefully "reload server configuration"? I'm aware of
being able to send ' *kill -HUP {PID}* ', but I don't think that is
graceful - wouldn't that effect currently running backups?
