I run my backup with a script called by bacula (which runs with root privileges). Here's the content of the script : #!/bin/sh echo "stopping fedora directory server" /etc/init.d/fds stop echo "rsyncing" /usr/bin/rsync -a --delete /opt/fedora-ds /opt/fedora-ds.rsync sleep 10 echo "starting fedora directory server" /etc/init.d/fds start Do you know what command I should add to this script to set up the environment correctly ? Thanks in advance, -- Mikael Kermorgant
