BACKUP.D(5) backupninja package BACKUP.D(5) NAME
BACKUP.D - Action configuration files for backupninja(1). SYNOPSIS
/etc/backup.d/* DESCRIPTION
To preform the actual backup actions, backupninja processes each action configuration file in /etc/backup.d according to the file's suffix. .sh run this file as a shell script. .rdiff backup action for rdiff-backup. .dup backup action for duplicity. .maildir backup action for slow, incremental rsyncs of tens of thousands of maildirs. .mysql backup action for safe MySQL dumps. .pgsql backup action for safe PostgreSQL dumps. .sys backup action for general system reports and hardware information. .svn backup action for safe backups of subversion repositories. .trac backup action for safe backups of trac repositories. .makecd backup action for burning backups to CD/DVD or creating ISOs. These files must be owned by root and must not be world or group readable/writable. Support for additional configuration types can be added by dropping bash scripts with the name of the suffix into /usr/share/backupninja. The configuration files are processed in alphabetical order. However, it is suggested that you name the config files in "sysvinit style." For example: 10-local.pgsql.disabled 15-runthisfirst.sh 20-runthisnext.mysql 90-runthislast.rdiff Typically, you will put a '.rdiff' config file last, so that any database dumps you make are included in the filesystem backup. Action con- figurations which end with .disabled are skipped. Example templates for the action configuration files can be found in /usr/share/doc/backupninja/examples. You can also use ninjahelper(1), a console based "wizard" for creating backup actions. SCHEDULING
By default, each configuration file is processed everyday at 01:00 (1 AM). This can be changed by specifying the 'when' option in a backup action's config file or in the global configuration file. Special value 'manual' will disable scheduling for the backup action. It is pos- sible to run the backup action manually by invoking ninjahelper(1) with --run command line argument. For example: when = sundays at 02:00 when = 30th at 22 when = 30 at 22:00 when = everyday at 01 when = Tuesday at 05:00 when = hourly when = manual These values for "when" are invalid: when = tuesday at 2am when = tuesday at 2 when = tues at 02 A configuration file will be processed at the time(s) specified by the "when" option. If multiple "when" options are present, then they all apply. If two configurations files are scheduled to run in the same hour, then we fall back on the alphabetical ordering specified above. The "when" must occur before any sections in the action configuration file. FILE FORMAT
The file format of the action configuration files is "ini style." Sections are created by using square bracket. Long lines are connected with a backslash. For example: # this is a comment [fishes] fish = red fish = blue [fruit] apple = yes pear = no thanks i will not have a pear. SEE ALSO

DELUSER(8) System Manager's Manual DELUSER(8) NAME
deluser, delgroup - remove a user or group from the system SYNOPSIS
deluser [options] [--force] [--remove-home] [--remove-all-files] [--backup] [--backup-to DIR] user deluser --group [options] group delgroup [options] [--only-if-empty] group deluser [options] user group COMMON OPTIONS [--quiet] [--system] [--help] [--version] [--conf FILE] DESCRIPTION
deluser and delgroup remove users and groups from the system according to command line options and configuration information in /etc/deluser.conf and /etc/adduser.conf. They are friendlier front ends to the userdel and groupdel programs, removing the home directory as option or even all files on the system owned by the user to be removed, running a custom script, and other features. deluser and del- group can be run in one of three modes: Remove a normal user If called with one non-option argument and without the --group option, deluser will remove a normal user. By default, deluser will remove the user without removing the home directory, the mail spool or any other files on the system owned by the user. Removing the home directory and mail spool can be achieved using the --remove-home option. The --remove-all-files option removes all files on the system owned by the user. Note that if you activate both options --remove-home will have no effect because all files including the home directory and mail spool are already covered by the --remove-all-files option. If you want to backup all files before deleting them you can activate the --backup option which will create a file username.tar(.gz|.bz2) in the directory specified by the --backup-to option (defaulting to the current working directory). Both the remove and backup options can also be activated for default in the configuration file /etc/deluser.conf. See deluser.conf(5) for details. If you want to remove the root account (uid 0), then use the --force parameter; this may prevent to remove the root user by accident. If the file /usr/local/sbin/deluser.local exists, it will be executed after the user account has been removed in order to do any local cleanup. The arguments passed to deluser.local are: username uid gid home-directory Remove a group If deluser is called with the --group option, or delgroup is called, a group will be removed. Warning: The primary group of an existing user cannot be removed. If the option --only-if-empty is given, the group won't be removed if it has any members left. Remove a user from a specific group If called with two non-option arguments, deluser will remove a user from a specific group. OPTIONS
--conf FILE Use FILE instead of the default files /etc/deluser.conf and /etc/adduser.conf --group Remove a group. This is the default action if the program is invoked as delgroup. --help Display brief instructions. --quiet Suppress progress messages. --system Only delete if user/group is a system user/group. This avoids accidentally deleting non-system users/groups. Additionally, if the user does not exist, no error value is returned. This option is mainly for use in Debian package maintainer scripts. --backup Backup all files contained in the userhome and the mailspool-file to a file named /$user.tar.bz2 or /$user.tar.gz. --backup-to Place the backup files not in / but in the directory specified by this parameter. This implicitly sets --backup also. --remove-home Remove the home directory of the user and its mailspool. If --backup is specified, the files are deleted after having performed the backup. --remove-all-files Remove all files from the system owned by this user. Note: --remove-home does not have an effect any more. If --backup is specified, the files are deleted after having performed the backup. --version Display version and copyright information. RETURN VALUE
0 The action was successfully executed. 1 The user to delete was not a system account. No action was performed. 2 There is no such user. No action was performed. 3 There is no such group. No action was performed. 4 Internal error. No action was performed. 5 The group to delete is not empty. No action was performed. 6 The user does not belong to the specified group. No action was performed. 7 You cannot remove a user from its primary group. No action was performed. 8 The required perl-package 'perl modules' is not installed. This package is required to perform the requested actions. No action was performed. 9 For removing the root account the parameter "--force" is required. No action was performed. FILES
