use of systemd services when user logs out
Good morning.
The current context.
I back up the home data manually. That is, as I think about it.
The script is based on the RSYNC command.
To automate it, I thought about using the services offered by systemd.
I'd say it pretty much works.
With a timer service that is triggered regularly.
and with a service that is triggered when the machine stops or goes to sleep.
It's this second part that I don't really like.
In fact, this personal computer is used alternately by several users.
So the script is forced to save all users. Which takes a little time. Well more than if it only saved the last user's data.
I would like to do differently:
saving user data when they log out or change users. Which seems more normal to me.
But I was unable to find examples of service coding launching when the user disconnects or when the user changes.
My idea is to start the backup service for the user who logs out. You also have to figure out how not to block the new connection while the backup is taking place.
