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
