Hello

It would be nice if backupninja send it's status messages to the syslog
as well as sending them in an email (which is optional anyway).
Currently my .sh scripts send all status to both syslog and backupninja
to alleviate this.

Related to this (maybe this should be a separate wishlist bug) it would
be good if backupninja would catch signals and log the fact that it got
stopped before the backup was completed.  This is useful e.g. when a
system shutdown occurs.

Regards
Floris

Hi,

Doesn't the ad-hoc logging system (/var/log/backupninja.log) suit
your needs? I understand the advantages of syslog, but you might have
skipped over this already-existing feature.

Yes, please submit a separate wishlist bug.

Bye,
