askpass.py is what for?
Hi, there is the file "common/askpass.py". It seems to run alone because there is a __main__ in it. And there is a /usr/bin/backintime-askpass script on my Debian system calling that python script. I tried to run it but no output or question for input but also on errors. So what is it for? Kind Christian
The command has a manpage, and it says: Back In Time is a simple backup tool for Linux. This is a helper tool for piping passwords into ssh/sshfs and encfs. Options will will be read from environ variables. It doesn't provide any useful enduser service. Does that clear it up? Michael On Thu, Sep 22, 2022 at 09:02:10PM +0000, c.buhtz@posteo.jp wrote:

Thanks. I got an idea. ;) But I'm not sure if it works as expected. Maybe it is a never-used and dead cow?
It's definitely not unused, because it's called from both sshtools.py and encfs-tools.py: https://github.com/bit-team/backintime/search?l=Python&q=backintime-askpass&type=Code Michael On 22.09.2022 23:39, c.buhtz@posteo.jp wrote:
