Bottom posted just for you. ;)
Ok, now what do I need to put in the config? Do I even need one? I think I do
as sometimes my laptop will need to be backed up remotely, and thus, I will
need to change the ip/hostname in the settings. If someone knows a way around
this, then I can actually finish this project.
I'm running gentoo on all computers, though I will be adding this to windows
soon enough.
I have multiple computers in the same bank, though I am considering changing
that, and multiple vaults per computer.
So this should be all I need to do then?
COMPUTERNAME=(triggering computer)
for VAULTNAME in `ls -1 $COMPUTERNAME-*` ; do
dirvish-expire --vault $VAULTNAME
dirvish --vault $VAULTNAME
