SCRIPT: storebackup exited with RETURNCODE = 255.
I installed storeback on my 9.1 system and created two config files in /etc/storebackup--one with the default name (storebackup.config) and another with my own name--to generate two separate backups. I have two problems: 1. Storebackup finishes with 255 returncode, even though no problems are reported in its logfile, and no "exit 255" statement exists in the storeBackup script. 2. The storebackup cron script doesn't run the second backup: ============== [...] if [ -x /usr/bin/storeBackup -a "$configs" ]; then for file in $configs do nice storeBackup -f "$file" done fi ============== I would expect the "for" statement to run twice, but it always stops after the first config file, no matter what names I use to affect the order the files are found. I can manually run each one separately just fine, except for the 255 return code at the end. Anyone with a clue how to fix this? Thanks, Jim

It's possible that the program (isn't it a perl thingy?) returns 255 when successful? Did you try executing a script with error to see what it gives you? Jerry

No, the last thing the perl script does after closing the log file is "exit 0;"

I don't understand what you suggest. I have often run scripts with error returns, and they report what I expect, as well as scripts without error properly returning 0. Never have I seen "exit 0;" in Perl returning 255. Jim
