Hi Bob,
that is a security feature in Linux.
The current directory is not included into the search path.
The ./ bypasses this.

My question is very basic:
In order to run the BackupPC_backupDelete command I have to preface it
with ./
Why is that necessary when all the examples and Craig's transcript here
on the list show the delete command being run without any preface?
Thanks,

Bob


P.S.
Thank you for the browser-based GUI! Very nice job on the gui, Craig!
It simplifies a lot of setup. I tried doing excludes from within
config.pl and the syntax was thwarting me.

Many regards, Dieter Fauth :-)
