You can use BackupPC_serverMesg to send the message server reload to
reload the config and host files.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Scripted reload of server configuration
Excellent - thank you for your reply. Just to be clear, the script I'm
running then I would just add:
BackupPC_serverMesg server reload

Re: [BackupPC-users] Scripted reload of server configuration
Got it working. I added the following line to my script:
* sudo -u backuppc /usr/share/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_serverMesg server
reload*

[BackupPC-users] Scripted reload of server configuration
I have developed a self provisioning ability whereby users go to a secure
page on BackupPC, enter their credentials, and their workstation they
logged in from automatically gets added to /etc/BackupPC/hosts. However,
though it's seen and selectable via the BackupPC web page, trying to
initiate an immediate full backup produces Host unknown error, which I
have learned that the backuppc daemon is not aware of the change to the
hosts file.
I see that the perl module,
/usr/share/BackupPC/lib/BackupPC/CGI/ReloadServer.pm allows the daemon to
become aware of the hosts file change. How can I call this module from the
SSI bash script I have that does the provisioning of the workstation? Or,
how else may I gracefully reload server configuration? I'm aware of
being able to send ' *kill -HUP {PID}* ', but I don't think that is
graceful - wouldn't that effect currently running backups?
