So despite that now showing up in kdcop, amanda still cannot perform because amanda can't contact the server, but I can. So some more hand holding is needed. :) Like how, short of rebooting, do I enable a restart of dcop? Mmmm, ack the manpage can I add --user gene in the middle of that Cmdline? So, poking at the sleeping giant with this is as far as I want to go without better guidance: root@coyote:bin$ su amanda -c "/opt/trinity/bin/dcop --user gene --all-sessions kmail KMailIface pauseBackgroundJobs" WARNING: ICE authority file /home/gene/.ICEauthorityis not readable by you! Please check permissions or set the $ICEAUTHORITY variable manually before calling dcop. [2020/12/19 13:35:38.922] DCOPClient::attachInternal.
