<h1>Scripting<a class="headerlink" href="#scripting" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
<p>This is a list of how certain tasks may be accomplished when you use
restic via scripts.</p>
<section id="check-if-a-repository-is-already-initialized">
<h2>Check if a repository is already initialized<a class="headerlink" href="#check-if-a-repository-is-already-initialized" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>You may find a need to check if a repository is already initialized,
perhaps to prevent your script from initializing a repository multiple
times. The command <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">snapshots</span></code> may be used for this purpose:</p>
<div class="highlight-console notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="gp">$ </span>restic -r /srv/restic-repo snapshots
<span class="go">Fatal: unable to open config file: Stat: stat /srv/restic-repo/config: no such file or directory</span>
<span class="go">Is there a repository at the following location?</span>
<span class="go">/srv/restic-repo</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>If a repository does not exist, restic will return a non-zero exit code
and print an error message. Note that restic will also return a non-zero
exit code if a different error is encountered (e.g.: incorrect password
to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">snapshots</span></code>) and it may print a different error message. If there
are no errors, restic will return a zero exit code and print all the
snapshots.</p>
