[gentoo-user] Add something to KDE's shutdown

[gentoo-user] Add something to KDE's shutdown

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 381 bytes --]

Hi guys!

I'd like to let my system automatically back up every time I shutdown or 
reboot using KDE's menu entry with a simple script.
However, it would be great to preserve a way to shutdown or reboot without 
making a backup when I've messed something up or when I need to shutdown 
ASAP.

What would be the best way to do this?

Thanks in advance,
Florian Philipp

well, you can set in your kdmrc the reboot and halt command.

# The command (subject to word splitting) to run to halt the system.
# Default is "/sbin/halt"
#HaltCmd=

set them to point to a script

Try 

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~arch" emerge subversion

Replace arch with your architecture: x86, amd64, whatever...

This is only temporary, next time you'll update world it'l revert to 1.3.2.

To make it permanent, untill 1.4.3 goes stable, add this line 
to /etc/portage/package.keywords

dev-util/subversion ~x86

Are those scripts executed with super user permissions? Are they executed when 
rebooting, too?

By the way: it's /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown/  ;)


Another question: Which options are appropriate to mount my backup partition 
while executing the script: 
noexec,async,dev,rw ?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

default options: rw, suid, dev, exec, auto, nouser, and async. match
your needs, but nouser : you have to know before if the users would
launch your script on behalf of themselves, or if the script would
have sticky-bit, or the users would have to sudo and run it as root.

As for exec and auto, you can disable them depending on how you manage
your back-up space.
