Hi,
the problem with that daemon is that it wont start by itself after a reboot. So I wrote a python3 script that will check the status and if necessary start the daemon:
import subprocess
def check_daemon_status():
try:
result = subprocess.run(['/home/myuser/.local/bin/ciscodnacbackupctl', 'daemon', 'status'], capture_output=True, text=True)
output = result.stdout
if "dead" in output:
print("ciscodnacbackupctl daemon is dead. Restarting...")
restart_result = subprocess.run(['/home/myuser/.local/bin/ciscodnacbackupctl', 'daemon', '--keep', '10', 'start'], capture_output=True, text=True)
if restart_result.returncode == 0:
print("ciscodnacbackupctl daemon restarted successfully.")
else:
print("Failed to restart ciscodnacbackupctl daemon:", restart_result.stderr)
else:
print("ciscodnacbackupctl daemon is running fine.")
except Exception as e:
print(f"Error occurred: {e}")
if __name__ == "__main__":
check_daemon_status()
The script is started hourly by cron:
0 * * * * /usr/bin/python3 /home/myuser/ccc-backup-management/ccc-housekeeping-daemon-check.py
Please adjust the path(s) according to your setup.
Hth
