How to write a wrapper for GNUtar (or smbclient)
Hi I want to write a wrapper (if there is no better solution) to inform windows users that they will be backed up so they have a chance to close its databases, mainly (MS-Outlook .pst files) The idea is that with a disklist file like .. smb-server //workstation1/documents smb-server //workstation2/documents smb-server //workstation3/documents smb-server //workstation4/documents I want to be able to send a popup windows (via smbclient -M) to inform user of workstationN he has to close its applications (then sleep some seconds) and another popup when finished. - Warn workstation1 user ; sleep 10 - run this station backup - Inform user he can continue working - Repeat for every machine. Have somebody did this? Any ideas? Jordi
amrecover, cannot use cd A windows dir with spaces
Hello amrecover interface seems to be unable to cd to dirs with spaces in its names, I tried quotes, backslashes ... Any suggestion? add command with wildcards work fine. Other question, can I recover directly to clients (windows) or must I recover to a tmp dir then share it and copy from win client? Regards
SUMMARY: amrecover: did not get a reserved port: 50059
Thanks: John Dalbec, Jason Thomas It worked! I comented the lines in stream.c and amrecover goes fine. Regards, On Wed, 6 Mar 2002, John Dalbec wrote: This is fixed in CVS. The following patch fixed the problem for me, but YMMV. In particular, if your firewall is picky about source ports for outgoing connections, it won't help you. Note that this is *not* the patch in CVS; OTOH it only affects one file rather than two. It also brings the behavior of --with-portrange in line with the comments in the configure file. (With this patch, the --with-portrange option only affects server ports (that listen for connections), rather than also affecting client ports (that initiate connections).)

Re: tapedev=otherhost:/dev/nst0 ?
Thank for your reply I know the client best option but it dont fit my needs. The clients are Windowses, and I have a spare Linux not in production to carry the load compression.

That makes the clients do the compression, not the tape server.
