  • Hi Dan, One of the reasons I quit zotero is so that it's not changing, or deleting, files as I run the backup script. Still it would be nice to be able to script it, and tell zotero directly to synchronize when I want it to. Thanks for the help. …
  • Hi Adam, Basically yes, if I could do that then my backups could run as one script as opposed to launching zotero and then killing the process two hours later and then performing the back up. For my purposes I would be happier if I could do everyt…
  • Hi Dan, I was the one the asked. The reason for it, is that I was wanted to schedule a synchronize without launching the zotero app. Just tell Zotero to synchronize and then exit with a sucess or failure code. It would have fit in well with the c…
  • Thanks Adam, I figured the Glib error was normal (I've seen similar messages many times) but I just wanted to share it in case it contained any clues. For now I can alter my shell scripts to work with /opt/zotero/zotero As an aside, I've love to s…
  • Hi Adam, I've been able to get it to work when I run: $ /opt/zotero/zotero --profilemanager Any idea why the calling zotero directly didn't work? Thanks, mark.
  • Hi Adam, If I run using: $ zotero -profilemanager I get the following: (process:5127): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion 'sys_page_size == 0' failed And zotero starts normally. I've also created a second profile in firefox usi…
  • For anyone that cares here is the shell script that I cobbled together using trial and error, google, and stackoverflow: #!/bin/bash case "$(pidof zotero | wc -w)" in 0) echo "Restarting Zotero" cmd="zotero" eval "${cmd}" &>/dev/nul…
  • Hi Dan, no I did not know that. I thought that auto-sync controlled whether or not zotero would synchronize when launched. Would there be any danger backing up the zotero folder while zotero was mid-sync? If not I think leaving zotero runn…
  • From looking at the javascript quickly it looks like the functions I want are: Zotero.Sync.Server.sync() or: Zotero.Sync.Runner.sync({ background: true }); But like you said the app needs to be running for that to work. Maybe the…
  • Thanks for the help Adam. I've finally found time today to setup a test linux machine and see if I can get this working. I've got zotero standalone installed and I'm about to try setting up the cron job. I'm sure I'll be back on here asking som…
  • Thanks for the reply Adam, you are correct I was looking to backup directly from the zotero serves onto our centralized server rather than relying on local machines or users to do so. I'm surprised that no one else has wanted to do something like th…
