Hi there ........ I wrote a little script for doing an rsync to a second hard drive. It goes like this: #/bin/bash rsync -r /home/barry /media/hda1/backups/barry_pc | tee >(zenity --progress --pulsate --text="Backing up files ....") >backup_log.txt killall zenity zenity --info --text="Backup completed sucessfully"
This works fine if I run it from a terminal, but if I try to run it from a desktop launcher or (preferred) run it as a startup program, it fails to do anything - doesn't launch at all. If the script is altered to: #/bin/bash rsync -r /home/barry /media/hda1/backups/barry_pc zenity --info --text="Backup completed sucessfully" It runs just the way I expect it to. The thing is, I'd quite like a notification to remind me that a backup is running automatically. Any thoughts on this?
