But what about catching errors?
Seems like I should be sending output to a log file, grepping thru
it and e-mailing it to myself if anything goes wrong.
I've looked at the examples at http://www.nongnu.org/rdiff-backup/
examples.html, but none of them seem to address this common need.
I'm not very trusting of computers, so I have a Nagios installation
running. I have it independently check that jobs have succeeded,
rather than looking for failed jobs. This will report failure even in
weird circumstances - crond dies, the machine in question isn't even
running, the network is down, whatever.
