Incidentally, apropos of all the time I spend debugging earlier today,
is there a "trick" for running the rsync backup code in BackupPC_dump
inside the Perl debugger?
I think that BackupPC_dump forks and runs the rsync stuff in the child
process. Is the right answer to figure out where that fork happens and
to tell the perl debugger that you want to debug the child process after
the fork? I've always found it a bit tricky to get the perl debugger
and for that matter gdb to follow a child process after a fork; any
tips? And where exactly does the fork occur (so that if I need to do
this again, I can put a breakpoint there)?
Thanks,
