rsync - Aug 2001 - Recursive flag needs fixing 2.4.7pre1

Martin,
Just a minor fix.


Jie,

Try the -r option (or the --recurse) option instead.

It looks like the source changed to this:

options.c: {"recurse", 'r', POPT_ARG_NONE,   &recurse},

But the help is still at:

options.c:  rprintf(F," -r, --recursive   recurse into
directories\n");

Now I've got this:

/etc/local/rsync_webct_cron.sh

produced the following output:

rsync: --device: unknown option
rsync error: syntax or usage error (code 1) at main.c(739)
