Dyadic Snapshot Scheduler 0.1.1 (Default branch)
DSS creates hardlink-based snapshots of a given directory on a remote or local host using rsync's link-dest feature. License: GNU General Public License v2 Changes:
This release prevents busy loops on rsync exit code 13. It ignores any snapshot directory with creation time > completion time. It opens /dev/null for reading and writing when executing rsync. It shows human readable snapshot creation duration when listing snapshots. It restarts the rsync process if it returned with exit code 13. Image

grab-account

GRAB-ACCOUNT(8) 						 chiark utilities						   GRAB-ACCOUNT(8)

NAME

       grab-account - add new account synchronised to remote system

SYNOPSIS

       grab-account local-user source [remote-user]

DESCRIPTION

       grab-account  reconfigures  sync-accounts  to  start synchronising a specified local user (which may not yet exist) from a specified remote
       system, and then invokes sync-accounts once to synchronise from that source.

       /etc/sync-accounts/createuser should contain a addhere line in the appropriate source section (ie, after host source).  grab-account adds a
	 user local-user [remote=remote-user]
       directive just before addhere and runs sync-accounts source.

EXIT STATUS

       0      All went well.

       any other
	      There were problems.

FILES

       /etc/sync-accounts; See also sync-accounts(8).

ENVIRONMENT

       See sync-accounts(8).

BUGS

       There is no locking of /etc/sync-accounts so do not invoke grab-account from a script, or more than once at a time by hand.   Do  not  edit
       /etc/sync-accounts by hand and also simultaneously run grab-account.

       The mechanism involving addhere is suboptimal.  This should be done with an include feature in sync-accounts, so that grab-account does not
       have to edit a configuration file that really belongs to the sysadmin.
