Very good point, adding BiT CLI to the system-wide crontab is what the BiT GUI (root) is doing and what is the most-accurate test case for me because that way no side effects apply from a manual call. Is there a way to manually start a cron job even if it is not yet due according to its schedule? That way I could force an execution for testing without waiting (for another coffee ;-) ?

Hello,
Actually I'd add a line to system-wide cron table or to root user's cron (via crontab -e) for running BiT as root (or system-wide if you pardon the term).
The rationale is, BiT is probably doing it already that way, and it's the logical way from a sysadmin perspective, even if BiT is doing something different.
Hope that helps,
Cheers,
Hakan

We have BiT qt GUI (root) but no corresponding starter script for BiT CLI (root).
Is there any documentation or recommendation how to start it?
Background:
I want to test if
sudo backintime --profile-id 1 --debug backup-job
shows the sys tray icon if I start it as root.
What is the recommended way of starting "backintime" as root so that the sys tray icon appears?
