I would like to be able to run the BC server manually, to be able to
debug into it. When I do, as root:
systemctl stop backuppc
this stops the server. Then, as user backuppc, to start the server
manually:
/usr/share/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC
but the BP web page does not come back to life. I kill this, and do:
systemctl start backuppc
and the BP web page comes back to life. I checked the sysd file
> cat /usr/lib/systemd/system/backuppc.service
[Unit]
Description= BackupPC server
After=syslog.target local-fs.target remote-fs.target
[Service]
Type=simple
User=backuppc
Group=backuppc
ExecStart=/usr/share/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC
ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID
PIDFile=/var/run/BackupPC/BackupPC.pid
so there does not seem to be anything special about invoking the BP
server. The same problem if I use the -d flag when invoking BackupPC .
Perhaps not special enough, but surely you've noticed these lines?
User=backuppc
Group=backuppc
Yes, I invoke BackupPC from a backuppc xterm:
$ groups
backuppc
$ whoami
backuppc
Thanks for raising that possibility.
