Running programs during client execution?
I'm a new subscriber, so apologies in advance if this is an FAQ, I was unable to find an answer on the site. I'll take all relevant redirection to solutions. I'm running a large amanda installation without any problems whatsoever, but with a few desires. The largest of these is client-side backup customizations. For example, I would like to write a script to perform CVS write locks before backing up our CVS tree (which is on a partition by itself). I know how to do the locking, but the question is: How do I get my own program to run during this process? I'd love to hear there's a way to do this... I don't want to just wrapper the whole amandad, because I'd like to make sure that the scripts only get run during the backup process, NOT during amcheck hits or spurious connections from curious users). Suggestions or comments? :) TIA, -mh. -- Mark Hazen DataBuilt, Inc. (843) 836-2101 Ext. 251 They may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel. --Carl W. Buechner
