I should also say that this relies on the fact the backuppc once a host
has settled only pings a host just before trying to back it up.

Also I should have mentioned that you need to crank up the pingtimeout
setting on backuppc if you are using this wake up method.

Re: [BackupPC-users] cannot get backuppc to wol a client

2011-09-03 Thread Robert E. Wooden 
I have worked on this issue in the past for myself. Never really got it 
completed. However, your email has me interested again and this is good 
weekend to work on this.

So, last night I Googled BackupPC wol got some more info.

This is the article that started me off last January:
 http://www.backupcentral.com/phpBB2/two-way-mirrors-of-external-mailing-lists-3/backuppc-21/wol-how-it-works-for-me-74879/
This writing was initially a little robust for my needs, however he 
brings up some very good ideas.

This article is from Ubunut-fr (France) and needed to be translated by 
Google:
 http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/backuppc
It relates to Windows pc's, should that be what you need.

I, personally, am trying to wake and backup Ubuntu machines. I cannot 
say if it works with other distros, but I don't see why it would not.

My next step is to move my wake-on-lan scripts over to my BackupPC 
machine (the scripts are working on my desktop to wake my test machine.)

I'll continue now my testing and keep you posted as I go.

 Sending the WoL packets need root (admin in the windows world)

 user to run wakeonlan as root or you need to setuid the wakeonlan
 binary. (bad idea)

I've had it working for a year or so with the following setup:

In the file /etc/sudoers add the following lines:

Cmnd_Alias WOL = /usr/bin/wakeonlan,/usr/sbin/etherwake
backuppc  ALL=(root) NOPASSWD:WOL

And change the pingcmd for the hosts to the following line:

$Conf{PingCmd} = '/usr/local/bin/wakeup.sh $host';

I've also attached a slightly edited version of the script I use to fire
off the WoL packets.

Well, your development on this is way over my head but, I sure do like 
your wakeup script.


In my case, I worked on this last January or so and forgot where I left 
off. I am embarrassed to say that I cannot find my notes from then and 
so I do not know want other related commands (within BackupPC) that I 
may have changed. I am sitting here scratching my head, deciding how to 
proceed.

[BackupPC-users] cannot get backuppc to wol a client

2011-01-10 Thread Bob Wooden 
I have been trying to get BackupPC server (on Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS) to wol 
a client for a few days now. The only references I can find (in the 
mail-archive) is a Jan 2006 posting. This posting suggests that my 
wakeup.sh should look like:


   wakeup.sh is:
   #!/bin/bash
   wakeonlan $1
   sleep ${2}m
   /usr/bin/nmblookup $3

This /wakeup.sh/ has been placed in //etc/backuppc/. The permissions are 
set to /640/ (to match the other files in that directory0 with ownership 
set as backuppc:www-data.


I have changed my 'NmbLookupFindHost' string changed to:

/etc/backuppc/wakeup.sh [client-macaddress] [wait-time] $hostIP


I also changed (per the suggestion of posting related to this one) the 
'PingPath' to /bin/echo.


I wish the archives were easier to search, but alas they are not.

Is there any posting a little more current available? And/or what have I 
done wrong?

Set permissions to 755 or 750. You don't have the execute bit set.
