Hi Flexbackup-Users and -Gurus,
i posted this problem to the Gentoo-Forums, as this might be
installation-related, but so far i haven't got a solution so i try here:
i used flexbackup for quite a while and i love its simplicity!
It worked for me for a couple of months now, but recently i discovered, that my
regularly backup isn't performed anymore.
I get the error message:
sh: /tmp/flexbackup/collectexit.17117.sh: /bin/sh: bad interpreter:
Permission denied
more precisely, when i type:
/usr/bin/flexbackup -set etc -level full
i get:
flexbackup version 1.2.1 (http://flexbackup.sourceforge.net)
/etc/flexbackup.conf syntax OK

at first glance i thought this is a problem with the directory
/tmp/flexbackup, and although it existed i recreated it and also tried
chmodding it to 777, without success.
Then i looked at /bin/sh, as it is mentioned in the error message,
but i can't see what should be wrong with it; it's just i symlink to
/bin/bash and bash is working...
I finally suspect that a recent upgrade could be the cause of the
error. I recently upgraded a couple of packages ( an emerge world on my
gentoo box, to keep the system uptodate) without problems. But maybe
something flexbackup needs got upgraded to an incompatible version? So
i tried re-emerging flexbackup ( 1.2.1-r1 ) and also downgraded perl to
a previous version ( 5.8.6-r8 ), but also to no avail...
Does any1 have any idea, where else i could look for a solution?
PS: I haven't found a switch to tell flexbackup to be more verbose (i
have set verbose in the cfg-file, but according to the comment, this
only lists each and every filename, nothing about debugging messages)...
TIA
Holger
