Sorry for explaining my thoughts so badly :-( The logs problem is mainly cosmetic, the fact that you will find log lines with non-english day and month name when you launch backupninja by hand may not break your system, it is a little bit annoying, not more. >> It seems that isnow() function assume english locale too for day name >> checking. > > Yeah, it does. So when you have specified a 'when' option like : when = sundays at 02:00 and you launch backupninja in a non-english locale environment the day name comparison in the isnow() function will allways fail because date +%A will return a non-english day name. >> LANG=C could be set at the begining of the script to fix this problem. > > You mean at the beginning of the backupninja script itself? Yes. Regards, -- Jonathan
