First, do not use variables already in use by UNIX or your shell, use MY_NAMES_FOR_SURE !

Using a var as a file seems silly for this situation, and might not take a big output robustly, but why store when you can flow; why not just put around all "( ... ) >>log_file 2>&1" and let them inherit stdout/stderr ? "2>&1" is a good idea, so the outputs stay together in the log in original time order.

Using PPK passwordless login, and you would not need expect. That is more secure than passwords in scripts, as well as simpler to invoke.

bup-server

bup-server(1)						      General Commands Manual						     bup-server(1)

NAME

       bup-server - the server side of the bup client-server relationship

SYNOPSIS

       bup server

DESCRIPTION

       bup server  is  the  server  side of a remote bup session.  If you use bup-split(1) or bup-save(1) with the -r option, they will ssh to the
       remote server and run bup server to receive the transmitted objects.

       There is normally no reason to run bup server yourself.

MODES

       smart  In this mode, the server checks each incoming object against the idx files in its repository.  If  any  object  already  exists,	it
	      tells  the  client  about  the  idx file it was found in, allowing the client to download that idx and avoid sending duplicate data.
	      This is bup-server's default mode.

       dumb   In this mode, the server will not check its local index before writing an object.  To avoid writing duplicate  objects,  the  server
	      will tell the client to download all of its .idx files at the start of the session.  This mode is useful on low powered server hard-
	      ware (ie router/slow NAS).

FILES

       $BUP_DIR/bup-dumb-server
	      Activate dumb server mode, as discussed above.  This file is not created by default in new repositories.
