Now I need some cross permissions help.
I have added two dcop commands to my backup.sh that are: /opt/trinity/bin/dcop kmail KMailIface pauseBackgroundJobs and: /opt/trinity/bin/dcop kmail KMailIface resumeBackgroundJobs
Specified as Cmdholdit and Cmdresume
and called as $Comdholdit and $Cmdresume
But this script run as amanada, who is part of the backup group and this error or generated: ERROR: Couldn't attach to DCOP server! when backup.sh is launched by amanda.
I interpret this error to mean that amanda does not have rights to use dcop.
I, as user 1000 do, that command works without any reported error for me.
So, how do I add the backup group (or the user amanda) to the list of users who can access dcop and send kmail a msg?
Thanks.

Hi Gene,
to communicate with the DCOP server, authentication using the ICE authority key is required. When you normally run a dcop command like the one you used it, the ICE authority key for the current user is searched. Because this is a different user than the one under which KMail is running, you need to handle it.
If the user under which the backup is running has sufficient privileges, you can try adding the --all-users --all-sessions parameters for dcop.
But when I tried to do that, no action was made, and the help page has not been written. 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.

help?
Thanks.
