If you're using systemd, this can be done using systemd-inhibit. See http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-inhibit.html for details. Quickly: systemd-inhibit --who='backup script' --why='backup is running currently' \ --mode=block yourbackupscript; Otherwise, you can add in an init scripts which runs in rc6 and rc0, and blocks until the backup is done. That's kind of hacky, but should work. -- Don Armstrong http://www.donarmstrong.com I cannot find rest Because I am powerless To amend a broken world. -- Guy Gavriel Kay _Under Heaven_ p295 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
