#!/bin/perl -T #============================================================= -*-perl-*- # # BackupPC_serverMesg: Send one or more commands to the BackupPC server. # # DESCRIPTION # As of v1.5.0 the BackupPC server communicates via a unix or internet # domain socket. Every message is protected with an MD5 digest, based # on a shared secret, a sequence number, and a per-connection unique # key. This minimizes the risk of an attacked issuing fake commands # to the BackupPC server. # # Previously, telnet could be used to talk to the BackupPC server. # As of v1.5.0 that is no longer possible. # # This script replaces telnet as a mechanism for sending BackupPC # messages. Usage: # # BackupPC_serverMesg mesg # # Example: # BackupPC_serverMesg status info # # AUTHOR # Craig Barratt # # COPYRIGHT # Copyright (C) 2001 Craig Barratt # # This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify # it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by # the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or # (at your option) any later version. # # This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, # but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of # MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
