Suggestions?
Simplified, but workable: #!/bin/sh ssh someu...@mythtv.pc "/path/to/some/script stop" /path/to/your/rsync/script ssh someu...@mythtv.pc "/path/to/some/script start" The above script would be your backup wrapper script, that gets called by cron. On the HTPC, "/path/to/some/script" would be a script that takes 2 arguments (stop|start). The stop argument would stop mythtv using the init script for it. Then would do whatever you need to do to the database (stop it, dump it, whatever). The start argument would do the reverse, starting the database and MythTV. And, "/path/to/your/rsync/script" would call your actual backups script that runs rsync. -- Freddie Cash fjwc...@gmail.com -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
