When the wiki is up...I try to remember to update it. Thank you. The script is much appreciated. After a few minor modifications (changing date format to match my backups, adding the full path to everything in the reporting loop), it mostly works. One thing I noticed, both with one of the scripts on the wiki and, with your script, is that it seems to reference files in /tmp to get information on the last run (FILE=/tmp/backup-$DATE.txt and tmpfile=/tmp/dirvish.status.$$). Those files (and anything similar) do not exist on any of the systems where I have dirvish working (both Ubuntu 6.06 LTS and Mandriva systems). How are they created? Is there an undocumented configuration item or a command line flag that makes them appear? Or is it just the redirected output of the runall cron job? Extensive searching of the dirvish.org site with Google does not yield their secret. The information those files appears to provide is not critical. I just feel left out. ;) Andrew Crawford _______________________________________________ Dirvish mailing list [email protected] http://www.dirvish.org/mailman/listinfo/dirvish
