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.

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.
Cheers
