Hello all... I was looking at a way to start up my vpn from our remote backup site to the office when backuppc starts a job.
I googled around for quite a bit and saw some people were using a script in place of the pingcmd parameter. I have tried that but i cant get it to work, as well as stop the connection when done using the PostDumpCmd. In a host, where the PingCmd text box is located i entered: /usr/local/bin/Connect2Office.sh And made sure the check mark was there and I saved it. The script itself is below, not much at all, really. #!/bin/bash /bin/true sudo openvpn --daemon --config /etc/openvpn/gateway.hardent.com.ovpn echo $? I added the --daemon in order to put the process in the background while running /bin/true is there because i thought the exit status had to be something and the echo $? is there for same exit status reason. The user backuppc is allowed to sudo that script via the sudoers file. Now , when I manually run this command as the user backuppc or root, from the command line, all works well, and I can manually start a backup and it completes fine. However, when I click on the start incremental job from GUI for the same host, as a test, the log file simply shows the below and nothing gets backed up. 2021-07-12 14:49:45 incr backup started back to 2021-07-12 14:33:53 (backup #0) for directory /etc Then after several minutes of nothing i dequeue the backup and get the below, which is of course normal. 2021-07-12 14:51:26 Aborting backup up after signal INT I am sure I am doing something stupid.... Any help would be appreciated. Have a great day! -- -- Rob Morin Systems/Network Administrator Hardent Inc.
