Interesting, seems like my backups aren't that foolproof as I thought
them to be...
Are there any issue we should be aware of when shutting down the gconf
daemon this way?
gconftool-2 --help says:
--shutdown Shut down gconfd. DON'T USE
THIS OPTION WITHOUT GOOD
REASON.
I'm not running gnome (fluxbox) but I might have other gnome apps
running while creating a backup, could they experience problems when
this daemon is shut down?
And how should this daemon be restarted? Will starting evo take care of
this? Reading the help I would assume this is the case:
--spawn Launch the config server
(gconfd). (Normally happens
automatically when needed.)
TIA
