Hi all,

Thanks for Sarab and Dar!!

I've modified sarab.sh to better handle Dar's exit codes, well at
least exit code 11, perhaps it will be of use to some one else.

My backups were failing because a server process was updating a log
file during a backup.  It only happened occasionally as the server
process only logs once a minute, and i'm not backing up a whole lot of
stuff.   Anyway when a file is modified Dar exits will error code 11,
but the Dar archive is still created.  Sarab was just aborting on any
code other than 0, so i modified it a bit to complete the backup on
error code 11.  Its possible the file which caused the error 11 will
be in a bad state, but the rest of the backup is ok, so for me it
makes sense for sarab not to abort.

the modified script is attached, the original is version 0.2.2.
you may need to excuse my script coding as, i don't play with shell
scripts very often.
