Package: backupninja Severity: wishlist Tags: patch When using backupninja on a laptop, it would be nice to be able to choose to not run certain jobs when off AC power. I don't want to use my limited battery power running a backup, I'd rather wait until I plug the system in.
I have modified backupninja to check if a job is not supposed to be run on battery power, and if not, if the system is on battery power. It checks for a "runonbattery" option (which defaults to "yes") in the main section of each backup job's config file in /etc/backup.d, and uses "acpi -a" and grep to check the power status. I'm not sure of the right way to supply a diff, so I will attach /usr/sbin/backupninja, changed from 0.9.4-6ubuntu4 (on my laptop, which runs Ubuntu...Debian on my desktop, but I don't run it without it being plugged in, of course). The changes are the adding of lines 276-291. Then the default config file should be updated, and ninjahelper too, I guess, though that's over my head right now. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
