Backing up a .war version from the command line.

Mattias wrote to me advising me to upgrade to V1.0b3.

A bit of digging around with a colleague showed that there were bugs in 
the xmlrpc jar in V1.0b2. I have upgraded and have different 
diagnostics, although they look better. Any ideas how to progress?

 Problem Statement

I have installed snipsnap 1.03b uttoexeter .war running under tomcat 
V4.13 on a Cobalt Qube Linux 2.2.16C37_III. I have redirection working 
on my apache 1.3 web server.  I am looking to use the utilities to 
automate the backup of the database which is mounted on files. The 
utilities .jar  is still missing from the .war. I have copied it and 
mkoidb.jar to the tomcat ./lib directory.

The error message is now

./backupSnipsnap.sh 1.0 ... starts

./backupSnipsnap.sh 1.0 snipsnap host is http://192.168.1.99:8080/lennon
