Here's the script I threw together:
- --
#!/bin/bash
BKUP_HOME=/mnt/backup/home
BKUP_MUSIC=/mnt/backup/music
EXPIRE=/usr/sbin/dirvish-expire
EXP_OPTS="--quiet"
RUNALL=/usr/sbin/dirvish-runall
RUN_OPTS="--quiet"
E_MNT_ALREADY_MOUNTED=32
E_UMNT_NOT_MOUNTED=1
MNT=/bin/mount
UMNT=/bin/umount
# Mount the backup filesystems
if [[ $($MNT $BKUP_HOME) -ne 0 ]]; then
if [ "$?" -ne "$E_MNT_ALREADY_MOUNTED" ]; then
echo "Failed to mount $BKUP_HOME!" 1>&2
exit $?
fi
fi
if [[ $($MNT $BKUP_MUSIC) -ne 0 ]]; then
if [ "$?" -ne "$E_MNT_ALREADY_MOUNTED" ]; then
echo "Failed to mount $BKUP_MUSIC!" 1>&2
exit $?
fi
fi
# Run dirvish-expire
if [[ $($EXPIRE $EXP_OPTS) -ne 0 ]]; then
echo "$EXPIRE run failure!" 1>&2
exit $?
fi
# Run dirvish-runall
if [[ $($RUNALL $RUN_OPTS) -ne 0 ]]; then
echo "$RUNALL run failure!" 1>&2
exit $?
fi
# Unmount the backup filesystems
if [[ $($UMNT $BKUP_HOME) -ne 0 ]]; then
if [ "$?" -ne "$E_UMNT_NOT_MOUNTED" ]; then
echo "Failed to unmount $BKUP_HOME!" 1>&2
exit $?
fi
fi
if [[ $($UMNT $BKUP_MUSIC) -ne 0 ]]; then

I could probably fold a lot that into functions, but this works for me
for now. Is there anything I'm not doing which you think I could (or
should) be doing? I've got the above script set up as a daily cronjob.
