Hello, I have searched the rsync pages and google but were not able to find any information about when the log files are written. Is this done in between the process of transfering the files or will the log file be written after all files have been transfererd ? What I basically try to find an answer to is: Is it possible that there is a difference in what has been transfered and what was written to the log ? E.g. when rsync gets killed (or dies) in the middle of the process ? Jens

If it is using syslog, it is up to syslog to flush each received line to disk. If rsync is outputting the file directly, rsync flushes the log file after every line. ..wayne..
