Tips & Tricks : How to extent "Additional Options" and "Exclude" permanently? about system-tar-and-restore HOT 6 CLOSED

try star-gui.sh /etc/conf.d/system-tar-and-restore.conf 😛

also star.sh -i 0 -C /etc/conf.d/system-tar-and-restore.conf

How do you run the scripts?

Did you tell star.sh or star-gui.sh to use those files?

By default star reads /etc/backup.conf

Hmm, therein lies the problem. I don't install it in this directory with this name. I thought it was a very generic name in a not-so-proper directory (at least for my distro, gentoo) so I installed it in /etc/conf.d/ as system-tar-and-restore.conf.

I think I can create and bundle a patch for the ebuild so when installing, star.sh will be patched with the new directory and filename, only for Gentoo of course. It's plain Bash as I can tell, so it won't be difficult to look up in your code :)

I am afraid no. Also most of the times I run star-gui.sh from the terminal which has root privileges, because I always have such a terminal open and I find it faster to start and test the program. :)
