Rudder

I have decompressed an ldap-backup (with keep-option) to look up something, and left it there.
At the next agent run I have noticed it hanging during execution. A pstree and strace did reveal that the gzip apprears to wait for input.

Trace of process 20165 - /bin/gzip /var/rudder/ldap/backup/openldap-data-20161104125423.ldif

I had to press "q" to continue with the run:

Gzipping the files should have the force option at the ldap-log-compression part of the promises.
