rsync - Mar 2005 - batch mode error

Anyone,

    When attempting to use batch mode to update a
second host by executing the .sh file I get:


[root@sspfedweb batch]# ./obsession_0000.sh
Batch file ./batch/obsession_0000.rsync_flist open error: No such file or
directory
rsync error: syntax or usage error (code 1) at batch.c(241)

Can anyone tell me whatI'm doing wrong.

I tar and gzip the batch directory and ftp to the target host.
Then untar/gunzip the batch files and run the .sh file.

You're in a different dir relative to the batch file when trying to read
it than you were when creating it.  So, either tweak the .sh file, or
make your rsync run start out in the same relative dir that you were in
when creating it.  For instance, to use the batch you've currently
created, do this:

    cd ..
    ./batch/obsession_0000.sh

That assumes that the destination dir is absolute.  If it is not, you
can specify a different destination on the command-line to the script,
or just edit the script to remove the "batch/" prefix from the batch
name.

I missed this in my first reply (though I already told Dale this):  the
suffix, ".rsync_flist", indicates that rsync is an older version
because
it is trying to read the obsolete multi-file batch format that was only
supported (though usually not well) by versions prior to 2.6.3.

Hello:

Is there a way to skip unreadable files so rsync doesnt die?

i have to rsync live filesystems and sometimes a file is open and blocked 
(outlook.pst) and rsync says:

rsync error: received SIGUSR1 or SIGINT (code 20) at rsync.c(229)

instead of skipping it.

I understand that --ignore-errors isnt what i need. I tried it anyway.

Thank you

Carlos Pantelides

You have to do it on the server side, with

ignore nonreadable = true

in /etc/rsyncd.conf.
