Suggestions for script backup_xi.sh

Post by BenCowan »

I'm not sure this is the appropriate place to post this to get to xi Support, but was hoping to make a suggestion for the backup_xi.sh script, because I was forced to use an alternate username for apache...

It's trivial, but since it sources the xi-sys.cfg file, I was curious why references to 'apache' in the crontab backup section, don't use the $apacheuser variable for all occurrences.

Same for the C-cronjobs script used during fullinstall.
