This may not be applicable, but I run rdiff-backup from cron on many machine with no problems at all. It uses librsync, so may be of interest to you. http://rdiff-backup.nongnu.org/ If you ignore the 'rdiff-backup-data' folder it creates then it's more or less identical to using rsync alone.

Re: [gentoo-user] rsync via ssh
I have done a similar thing at work, except what I do is first create an
ssh tunnel, then rsync to the locally listening port. Works perfectly.
In my setup the remote server is running an SSH server which is not
accessible directly. Maybe this will help you.
#!/bin/bash
SSL_COMMAND="ssh -p [EMAIL PROTECTED] -f -N -L 8000:localhost:873"
SSL_PID=`ps aux | grep "$SSL_COMMAND" | egrep -v 'grep' | awk '{print $2}'`
if [ "$SSL_PID" == "" ]; then
echo "=> Creating SSH tunnel to myserver"
$SSL_COMMAND
SSL_PID=`ps aux | grep "$SSL_COMMAND" | egrep -v 'grep' | awk
'{print $2}'`
else
echo "=> SSH tunnel already exists. Using existing tunnel."
fi
if [ "$SSL_PID" != "" ]; then
echo "=> Connecting through SSH tunnel with PID $SSL_PID"
rsync rsync://localhost:8000/wwwroot
/mnt/samba/hotcopy/myserver/wwwroot \
-rvtzp --delete --modify-window=1
echo "=> Closing SSH tunnel"
kill $SSL_PID
else
echo "ERROR: SSH Connection failed! The backup could not complete"
fi
Cheers,
Ralph

This is the crontab entry (in rmason's crontab):

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately that did not work, the same error
ocurs.
This is what I have currently:
0,15,30,45 * * * * /usr/bin/rsync -av -e "ssh" /home/rmason [EMAIL

I've tried with and without the quotes plus with and without the

FWIW I tried scp and had the same problems. I think it has to do with the backup_machine not reading my public ssh key, maybe because the session is not interactive.

Thanks, I'll have a look at it. Did you have to do anything special to make it work from cron? Cheers, Roger -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Another responder suggested rdiff-backup. I'll give that a try first.

[gentoo-user] dhcpcd won't stay dead
After a recent update, dhcpcd won't stay dead. I've got it configured to time out in 7 seconds: /etc/conf.d/net config_eth0=( "dhcp" ) dhcpcd_eth0="-t 7" That sort of works, dhcpcd dies and returns 0 after 7 seconds if there is no server. The startup script gives up on that interface and goes on to the next one. However, after a recent update, it now appears that a second instance of dhcpcd is getting started immediately, and it runs forever, filling my system log with a never-ending stream of useless spew like this: Nov 4 22:19:34 ThinkGrant dhcpcd[15785]: eth0: trying to use old lease in /var/lib/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-eth0.info' Nov 4 22:19:34 ThinkGrant dhcpcd[15785]: eth0: checking 169.254.7.65 is available on attached networks Nov 4 22:19:35 ThinkGrant dhcpcd[15785]: eth0: adding IP address 169.254.7.65/16 Nov 4 22:19:40 ThinkGrant dhcpcd[15785]: eth0: broadcasting for a lease Nov 4 22:19:47 ThinkGrant dhcpcd[15785]: eth0: timed out The second instance of dhcpcd never exits...

That's apparently the new default behavior of dhcpcd. You now have to use the "-L" option to tell it you don't want your log filled with useless crap. -- Grant -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I just checked my computer, and sda is the drive plugged in the first sata-port, and sdb the one in the second port (according to the info in motherboard manual). Maybe it is something similar as with p-ata drives, where hda is always the master drive on the first pata channel... Jarry -- ___ This mailbox accepts e-mails only from selected mailing-lists!
