I've installed the software and scripts (fonz' fun plug 0.5 based) and it seems to be doing the right thing except that the "current" symbolic link won't update automatically to the latest directly. Here is the directory listing from the backup target.

# ls -l
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jun 27 16:47 20080627_164744
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jun 29 06:48 20080629_064801
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jun 30 02:00 20080630_020010
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Jun 29 06:50 current -> 20080629_064801

Any ideas as to why this might be happening will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I had a similar problem until adding the full path to wc in the IF statement at the end of the script.

The If statement in my script looks as follows;

Code:

if [ $(ls -1A $dstpath/$date | $ffppath/bin/wc -l) -ne 0 ]
then
  rm $dstpath/current
  ln -s $date $dstpath/current
fi

The path ($ffppath) is set ealier in the script with

Code:

ffppath=/ffp
