Message: Wow, such excellent suggestions...thanks immensely. I WILL contact Mr. Kumar on this, shortly. Will report back. But I JUST found something interesting:I rebooted Linux, and then ran the IDrive script, login.pl...and it says I'm already logged in! Hmm. But I rebooted early this morning, when my monitor was blank, and it wouldn't turn back on. I don't use sleep or hibernation mode, but DO have the system set to turn the screen blank after ten minutes of no activity. Usually, once I tap a key or do a mouse click, the screen turns back on. But I've found that it sometimes fails to do that after leaving the system inactive overnight. So, that forced shutdown (by keeping the power button pressed), may have something to do with my still being logged on to IDrive...by possibly restoring my current online activities before the shutdown.Egads...just one thing after another...you can't make this stuff up!

Regarding the @ symbol, apparently Perl tries to interpret it, so you need to escape it, for example: my $uname = "zeke\@domain.com"; Okay, got it, thanks. What I meant was, you get rid of the whole line containing "getAndValidate" (by commenting it out) and add a new line with just my my $uname = "zeke\@domain.com"getAndValidate is a function that takes keyboard input and assigns it to the variable $uname, but we want to just hard-code it.

I think it's fine to change the filename...however, I can always stick to the original, after first backing it up as "login-ORIGINAL.pl".

Thanks! my $encKey = Common::getAndValidate(["\n", 'enter_your', " encryption key: "], "private_key", 0);appears many times in login.pl and account_settings.pl so I'm not sure which one you would change - potentially all of them, but it may be that the scripts are designed to handle a number of accounts so it may be a bit more complicated.

They just asked me to run "send_error_report.pl" and include the ticket number before sending it off to them. See if you can get in contact with Anil Kumar who wrote those scripts. He's on LinkedIn.I wonder if there's a simpler way to hack these scripts and bypass login - after all, they have already stored your authentication details so that they can run unattended  backups from the cron jobs.

As for your theory that it does not resume from where you left off...IIRC in Windows it DID resume at the percentage point from where I stopped. Anyway, let's see what they have to say.

Message: Further to my comment about login.pl - yes, maybe copy it to a new file called loginauto.pl and modify it so that the username, password and encryption key are assigned automatically.

Message: Well, I tried that, but it seems to hiccup over using the "at" symbol, as my username is my email address. And I don't know how to get around that. Here's the result: zeke@X230:~/IDriveForLinux/scripts$ ./account_setting-AUTO.pl"my" variable $uname masks earlier declaration in same scope at ./account_setting-AUTO.pl line 119.Possible unintended interpolation of @sonic in string at ./account_setting-AUTO.pl line 119."my" variable $upasswd masks earlier declaration in same scope at ./account_setting-AUTO.pl line 125.Global symbol "@sonic" requires explicit package name (did you forget to declare "my @sonic"?) at ./account_setting-AUTO.pl line 119.Execution of ./account_setting-AUTO.pl aborted due to compilation errors. Or it's something else, I really have no idea, I'm not a programmer in ANY language, including Perl. At any rate, wouldn't it be the "login.pl" file I'd need to edit?

Message: I'd love to be able to automatically login to IDrive, whenever I boot up. Second best option would be to create a script that will log me in automatically, that I can run AFTER booting up, that is: without having to type in my username, password, and encryption key. I'm the only one using this computer, so security issues are zilch. Thanks! Sun, 07 Feb 2021 19:04:32 +0000
