I want to write a script that laptop users can run to trigger a backup of their laptop. Scheduling does not work for them because the laptops are connected to the net very irregularly.
The idea is to plug the ethernet, log in to the backup server and run "backupmylaptop" or something. My first approach would be to have something with the suid-bit set that pipes the command "run client=myclient level=incremental". Has someone ever done a script like this and already knows the pitfalls? Are there better ways?
