      Add -q flag to psql calls to suppress 'INSERT 0 1' etc · 59d01a57
      Dr Catherine Pitt authored
      Closes #6
      
      When running psql commands to insert rows in the database, psql normally
      returns an message about what it did, eg "INSERT 0 1" if it inserted a
      row. This can be suppressed with -q . Several of the scripts use psql
      commands to get primary keys from the database, inserting the row if
      necessary. This can lead to the host id variable in the script being set
      to 'INSERT 0 1 <thehostid>' which causes problems when this variable is
      used in other SQL commands.
      
      This always used to work; I suspect the thing that changed is our
      upgrading to Postgres 16 on the backup servers, but I'm struggling to
      see how as Postgres 13 seems to behave the same for me.

      Remove move-machine.sh script · 56a40eed
      Dr Adam Thorn authored
      I'm about to add a script to send a backup to a different backup server.
      It's thus probably best if the script names describe their functions in a
      little more detail

      Fix a bug in the move-machine script · 75db08dc
      Dr Catherine Pitt authored
      The generation of the command to unexport NFS filesystems could generate
      an invalid command. Leading spaces were not being stripped, and in cases
      where there is more than one backup target for a machine we need to
      unexport every target. Because we also had 'set -e' in operation at this
      point, the script would fail there and never clean up the moved ZFS. I
      don't mind if we fail to unexport; if that's subsequently a problem for
      removing the ZFS then the script will fail at that point.
      
      This change makes the script generate better exportfs -u commands and
      not exit if they fail.
