I had an interesting question thrown at me today. A friend who I've moved into Linux (Mandriva 2007) wants to automate a backup of his address book in .ldif format.
I already set him up with rsync over ssh to keep a regularly updated (and automatic) copy on another machine, which then daily copies everything again on an external USB HD. So he's backed to the hilt.
But he wants to know if there is a script that mimics the address book "export" function, and such that it does so in the .ldif format. (which he says eases syncing with his ipod)
Can this be done? Or am I right... he's going to have to open up the book and click "export" and so on?
Searched the forums and Googled the idea already...
Thanks,
