In general I have no ideas, but I do know that scripts executed in udev rules have to run "fast", or they are automatically killed off. You might want to consider having the script do something like: /usr/bin/at -M now <<'HERE' > /dev/null 2>&1 /full/path/to/do-the-backup/script HERE That will very quickly arrange for a different thread of control to run the actual backup, and avoid systemd killing it off because it is too slow. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 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@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
