Hi

Trying to unscramble a previously functional program, any remedies specific issue.

Thanks, a

a@alap:~$ ~/rsnapshotBackup.sh
bash: /home/a/rsnapshotBackup.sh: No such file or directory
a@alap:~$ /home/a/bin/rsnapshotBackup.sh
backup of a home
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
rsnapshot encountered an error! The program was invoked with these options:
/usr/bin/rsnapshot alpha
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
ERROR: Could not mkpath("/media/a/aBackup/alpha.0/", 0, 0755);
done
/home/a/bin/rsnapshotBackup.sh: line 6: read: -n: option requires an argument
read: usage: read [-ers] [-a array] [-d delim] [-i text] [-n nchars] [-N nchars] [-p prompt] [-t timeout] [-u fd] [name ...]
a@alap:~$

instead of GUI wizardry, perhaps just launch the script from your terminal window in the first place. e.g. open terminal program, and execute ~/rnapshotBackup.sh

if you need to fix the "run in terminal" functionality, my guess is that it has to do w/ the script and how it's accessing a TTY that probably isn't availale. IMO not worth the effort -- just run it from the terminal program. or cron, or however you want to schedule it.

Hi

OS Debian 10, Firebox, Cinnamon.

When choosing run in Terminal (see below or attach), there is a brief flash.Query: How to run in terminal it sleeps in /home/bin.

When choosing run (see below or attah), it appears to update backup. I would like to see the process merge a solution.

Thanks, a
