cp -R /home/frank/.thunderbird /home/frank/.thunderbird.backup Always would do this for /frank, even if another user would close a session? cp -R ~/.thunderbird ~/.thunderbird.backup Always would do a backup for the current user closing a session, even if this user would not like to have a backup? Perhaps you need to check if user /frank does close a session and then only backup. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
