[Duplicity-talk] Network connection goes down/comes back, duplicity neither continues nor terminates

[Diagon]

I'm running duplicity with cron and a command like this:

PASSPHRASE="mypassword" flock -n /tmp/backuplock /usr/bin/duplicity --log-file 
/home/me/duplicity.log --backend-retry-delay 60 --asynchronous-upload --name 
TEST --volsize 50 --full-if-older-than 6M --exclude '**.lock' 
/home/me/Desktop/TEST sftp://address@hidden/Backup

The network has gone down and come back up, but duplicity neither continues nor 
terminates.  As a result the lock (flock) is not relinquished, and so cron is 
unable to start a new task to finish what was incomplete.  

Anyone have thoughts on a way to solve this?
