Description David Quinn 2007-10-26 06:12:16 EDT

Description of problem:
I'm trying to get fwbackups to execute the command "shutdown -h now"
after the backup but it doesn't work and my logs show the following error:

Oct 18 19:00:29 :: WARNING : Command returned with a non-zero exit status:
Oct 18 19:00:29 :: ERROR : Return value: 127

The backup is successful but is this a bug or configuration problem?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.43.1

Comment 1 Stewart Adam 2007-10-26 08:26:02 EDT

If I remember correctly, an exit status of 127 is because you're not root when
executing the "shutdown" command. Try using sudo to shutdown the machine (you'll
have to configure /etc/sudoers so that "shutdown" can be run by all users
without a password)

Comment 2 David Quinn 2007-10-26 08:59:50 EDT

Thanks Stuart. The command is executed as root but I think you're right that the
problem may be system related rather than with fw. Thanks for the quick repsonse
and a great programme

Comment 3 Stewart Adam 2007-10-26 19:05:24 EDT

No problem! I'm glad to hear you like it. I'll close the bug as NOTABUG, but if
you find that the problem is occurring from fwbackups feel free to reopen it.
