OK, this is working, but there is a new problem. When the backup completes, it launches the Super Duper application. Since there is no GUI shell actually open at the time, this puts the system into a weird state where Super Duper runs OK within itself, but cannot be Quit. The only way to recover the system is to do a full reboot, meaning I have to do this every morning after the backup has run.

I can't see any setting to stop Super Duper from being launched after the script has run. How can I just let the script run quietly and not launch Super Duper?
