Or: - make your script use a lockfile and skip running if the lock is held Or: - run in a loop which sleep for 60 seconds between runs Or: - use incrond to activate rdiff-backup only when files actually change, and use IN_NO_LOOP to prevent it from going off more than once at a time (and/or wrapper script to prevent it happening more than once a minute) http://inotify.aiken.cz/?section=incron&page=about&lang=en -- Matthew Miller [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://mattdm.org/> _______________________________________________ rdiff-backup-users mailing list at [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/rdiff-backup-users Wiki URL: http://rdiff-backup.solutionsfirst.com.au/index.php/RdiffBackupWiki
