$ tkdesk
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

except it's nowhere to be found. Wait, here it is now with ending numbers:

One of the new tricks of RH7.3?

Looking at the core file I see a lot of talk about:

and
set msg "Can't find a usable init.tcl in the following directories:

The end of core file is:

I did that by changing the tcl/tlConfig.sh files.

ldd tcl... gives the same files in RH7.3 as in RH6.2.

If this is another case of strange happenings under RH7.3 then we might probe 
again in the dark or is it that the new tk/tcl of RH7.3 are at fault only. 
Could one reinstall the ones of RH7.2 w/o messing-up everything?

I hate to see a solid good program <tkdesk> go to waste on account of RH7.3.

No. Sorry but I just realised that you have a problem with a Tcl/Tk 
script. Actually, you have to use gdb with the Tcl/Tk interpreter (not
sure which is that, it should be named in the first line of TkDesk).

Assuming the interpreter has been build with debugging info, it is called
'tcl' and it is in your path, do:

% gdb tcl
% (gdb) run /path/to/tkdesk

Normally, you'll get the segfault inside gdb, and using 'where' you'll get
the stack backtrace.

need method of backing up files

[Shaggy Im-erbtham]

I use Slackware 7.0 with upgraded 2.4.18 kernel in a box which serves
as file server to 5 win9x clients.

Is there a method to perform incremental back-ups for every user, for
every day of the week.

Eg.  /home/peter
        /home/paul
        /home/mary

to be backed up everyday into day-of-the-week directories
so on Monday, files that were updated today would be copied to
each user's sub-directory in the monday directory.
/mnt/1monday/peter
/mnt/1monday/paul
/mnt/1monday/mary

and so on
/mnt/2tuesday/peter
/mnt/2tuesday/paul
/mnt/2tuesday/mary

Sometimes we need to track the daily changes that are made, that's
why.

I'm aware RAID is available but I think this is another thing altogether.

TIA
Shaggy

Re: need method of backing up files

[Paul Furness]

Well, there are so many ways of doing this that it's difficult to know
where to start!

There are two parts to what you want to do: scheduling when the backup
happens and doing the actual backup.

The scheduling is easy - use cron. man crontab will get you started on
that. One thing to be aware of is permissioning - if it's all on one
box, then root could run the backups fine, but you might not want to run
it as root, in which case a user like operator is used, but it runs the
actual backup binary SUID root.

Doing the backup:

A lot depends on how often you want to restore, and how you want to do
this - do you want to pull out individual files, or restore everything
in a give directory? How much data is there - is it necessary to
compress the backed up data?

If _ALL_ you want to do is copy files from one place to another once per
day, retaining permissions etc, then combine find with cpio. You can set
find to find only files which have been modified within the last day.
The commands you'd use (taking the first of the examples you give) would
be something like:

cd /home/peter
find . -depth -mtime -1 -print | cpio -pmudv /mnt/1monday/peter >
{Some_Log_File}



by using different options to cpio, you can also use this technique to
create a single archive file or go direct to a tape - say once per week
as a full backup. The man page for cpio should help you there.

 
If you want to simply create an archive of anything that changed since
the last backup, you could use dump. This is usually run once per week
as a full backup, and all the times in between as an incremental backup.
When run as an incremental, dump backs up all the files which have
changed since the last incremental backup of the same level. Again, look
at the man page for dump which explains it fairly well.

RE: need method of backing up files

[Paul Kraus]

I did something similar with a backup script that copies only files that
change. However it does not take into account files that have been
deleted. You would then just need another simple script to run before
this one that would copy the backup directories to foldername-Tuesday
ect. If you use this you will need to make some minor changes to reflect
your environment. I have a bunch of other scripts that just call this
one. One for each machine I backup and one that is a batch of all the
machines I backup that I have sitting in cron.daily. 

Example: scriptname someuser somepassword computername computershare
pathwithinshare locationofpst

The last variable is for backing up outlook pst files but it can be
omitted as well as the pathwithinshare if you are backing up the root of
the share.

Let me know if you come up with a way to have it remove deleted files.

I am also working on a better way to handle logging.
Let me know if this helps.

RE: need method of backing up files

[Paul Furness]

Yup, that should work nicely.

Couple of things you might want to add to it (or you may not, of course
:)  - see below

On Fri, 2002-11-08 at 14:35, Paul Kraus wrote:

Would you want to? How often does someone delete a file, then a couple
of days later ask you to restore it from the backup? I have something
similar going on where I simply copy stuff to the backup space, but
never delete anything. Well, not strictly; once per month it deletes
everything older than a month, using find:

find /{Backup_Place} -mtime +30 -exec rm {} >> {Log_File} \;

Old stuff is in the regular backups anyhow.


Oh, about logging: The approach I use is to log all activity and all
errors to the same file. This is because I find that if there _are_ any
problems, it's useful to have all the messages in chronological order.
Basically, every command in any of my system scripts ends in " >>
${Log_File} 2>&1 "  (actually, I usually do something like assign that
to a variable and stick that on each line).
At then end of the script, I usually put in something like:

mail -s "Backup script on ${Host} completed ok"
paul.furness@vil.ite.mee.com < ${Log}

and if there is a place in the script where things have gone wrong,
rather than just exitting, I put in something like:

mail -s "Backup script on ${Host} FAILED" paul.furness@vil.ite.mee.com <
${Log}


Hope some of this helps.

You might want to add something here that deals with a failure to make
the directory, and also logs the results of the mkdir command. Something
like:
 
 	if [ ! -d $dest ];then mkdir -v --parents "$dest" >> ${log};fi
	if [ ! -d $dest ]
		then 
		echo "Failure to make destination $dest >> ${log}
		#mail an error to someone?
		exit 1  # This ends the script if dest doesn't exist
	fi


........same for ${mnt}

It is possible to combine these into more compact code, but I think that
makes it harder to read later.

Is there any reason why you redirect errors to /dev/null rather than
appending to the log file? If it went wrong, you wouldn't know why.

RE: need method of backing up files

[Paul Kraus]

How can I add the machine name to the output. For instance...
This command writes to the log file that a file is in use and was not
backed up.

cp --preserve --recursive --update "$source"/* $dest 2>> $log

So if I have a variable called $machine and it equals the workstations
name how can I have it written before the log entry.

Example
Myworkstation: output from errors out.

Thanks in advance,

RE: need method of backing up files

[Paul Furness]

I don't know of a way to make it put the machine name at the beginning
of each line. 

As a partial solution, you could put the machine name into the log file
before the copy:

  echo ${machinename} >> $log
  cp --preserve ..... and so on.

I tend to put a lot of date stamps in log files as well as some
comments. It doesn't make much difference to the file size, and it can
be very useful information later, and also make the log file much easier
to read. I tend to do something like this:

  echo "Starting the backup of ${machinename} at `date`" >> $log
  cp --preserve .....
