I have two Suns with Solaris 9. I use rsync version 2.6.3. I copy files from the local machine to a remote rsync server. At the destination side I run rsync deamon via inetd. command rsync -av *.tmp backup1::tmp/ works well, I tried simulate damage of backup1, but when I disconnected backup1 machine and run command, rsync was still waiting for connection. I tried use this command: rsync -av --timeout=30 *.tmp backup1::tmp/ but it didn't take an effect. Is this option (--timeout) active in this case. Maybe I made some particular mistake? Michal Lasota

It would be good to have the connect call timeout, but such a timeout might need to be specified via an additional option (for backward compatibility). If someone wants to work something up, feel free. ..wayne..
