Hi, I've just started playing around with rsync (latest - 2.4.6) over ssh (openssh 2.9p2) on FreeBSD to sync up home directories on a pair of web servers. It all works great, but in trying to get a script going out of cron to automate this, I'm finding that there's about a 50/50 chance that at the end of the run, rsync will hang indefinetly. I thought perhaps it was something with my script, but running it by hand, I'm able to duplicate the same behaviour. In the mailing lists I see there used to be a similar problem, but that it was fixed. It's always happening on the very last file on the list. Any ideas? What other information can I provide to track this down? Thanks, Charles | Charles Sprickman | Internet Channel | INCH System Administration Team | (212)243-5200 | spork@inch.com | access@inch.com
Search the mailing list for references to Wayne's no-hang patches -- or get pre1 out of the cvs server and the hangs should go away. eric Charles Sprickman wrote:> > Hi, > > I've just started playing around with rsync (latest - 2.4.6) over ssh > (openssh 2.9p2) on FreeBSD to sync up home directories on a pair of web > servers. > > It all works great, but in trying to get a script going out of cron to > automate this, I'm finding that there's about a 50/50 chance that at the > end of the run, rsync will hang indefinetly.
