On my centos 7 system, I added the following function to my
/etc/init.d/backuppc script:
# ...
checkTempFs() {
if `test -d /var/run/BackupPC`; then
echo "BackupPC tempfs exisits"
else
mkdir -p /var/run/BackupPC
chown backuppc:backuppc /var/run/BackupPC
echo "BackupPC tempfs created"
fi
}
# ...
Then I added the "checkTempFs" function to the top of the "start" function
in the same script:
# ...
start() {
# Make sure /var/run/BackupPC tempfs exisits
checkTempFs
# ...
