Even easier is to use a systemd service and timer (system or user) to start this backup: this will do this locking for you. >> Usually, this machine runs every day for at least 1-2 hours durin the week, >> and a long loner during the week-end (when backuo is run). >> However, it may happen that the machine is not run during several weeks. For example, if you only want a backup per day, run this timer every hour but instrument your script to do nothing if a backup has been done less than 24 hours ago. -- francis _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
