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
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.
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?
Hi Gene,
Thanks for posting the dcop commands, I’ve been meaning to add similar to my
local nightly backup for awhile.
On the permissions issue:
Use sudo, basically the same as using sudo for yourusername to root, but
replace root with yourusername and yourusername with amanada. And then get
sudo to run without password.

Straight su option? (I think this always wants password though):
