Backup Central

Michael,

This is what I do. I have a text file with the message to be displayed
to the end user and I use the following commands within a shell script:

#!/bin/sh
/bin/cat /backupdata/conf/popmsg.txt | /usr/bin/smbclient -U BackupPC -M $1

This works quite nicely.

Finally, you might want to change it so the host name gets passed to
the script:

$Conf{DumpPreUserCmd} = '/usr/local/backuppc/smbnetsend $host';

and then use $1 (first argument) in your script to get the hostname.

This is excellent! However, I am experiencing a small problem with the
following setup:

$Conf{DumpPreUserCmd} = '/usr/local/backuppc/smbnetsend $host $type';

smbnetsend:

#!/bin/bash
echo "A $2 backup of your pc has been started..."|/usr/bin/smbclient -M
BackupPC $1

For some reason, the popup message received is:

"The DumpPreUserCmd backup of your pc has been started..."

Did I miss something?

Oops, this is a bug. It turns out $type is really the type
of command, not the type of backup. I'll change the type of
command to cmdType, and leave $type to be "full" or "incr".

I'll fix this for 2.1.0.

Craig
