Hi Guys, > Don't move it across potential mount boundaries, please. No problem :)
I created a very simple script that uses zenity for dialogs and adds date/time to the back up file. It requires zenity package to work. It does not force the user to log out but when it's done it prompts a warning and the log out window appears. Please let me know if you think this would be enough: https://paste.opensuse.org/35034082 Cheers, Maurizio Galli (MauG) On Sun, Dec 16, 2018 at 11:36 PM Manfred Hollstein <[email protected]> wrote: > > Moin, > > On Sun, 16 Dec 2018, 16:02:20 +0100, Maurizio Galli wrote: > > > Something like that, maybe with moving stuff into a backup location > > > instead of deleting it > > > > Yes should be easy enough to do with something like: mv > > ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf ~/xfconf.bak > > Open to better suggestions. > > Don't move it across potential mount boundaries, please.
