Hello,
Any help on the following issue will be appreciated.
How do I delete files or directories in my first level of directory that is
specified as host. Here is an example :
rsync -avz --delete ${SOURCE_HOST}:/mlinkfam/extract/sccs/pa/*
/mlinkfam/extract/sccs/pa
Giving above command I find redundant files or directory not getting deleted
from the first level of target directory /mlinkfam/extract/sccs/pa. However,
files or directories do get deleted from subdirectories
/mlinkfam/extract/sccs/pa/qa or /mlinkfam/extract/sccs/pa/field.
Thanx,
Raj
I had a similar problem once. Try this instead:
rsync -avz --delete ${SOURCE_HOST}:/mlinkfam/extract/sccs/pa/.
/mlinkfam/extract/sccs/pa
The only change was "*" to ".".

To spell that out lets assume this the source host looks something like so (i'm shortening the paths for readabilty) : /sccs/pa /sccs/pa/qa /sccs/pa/qa/file1 . . lots of other files and subdirs in pa/qa . /sccs/pa/field . . lots of other files and subdirs in pa/field . /sccs/pa/configdoodle and the destination host has a file pa/oldanddeleted /sccs/pa/oldanddeleted in addition to the other stuff. When you execute rsync -avz --delete /sccs/pa/* ${DEST_HOST}:/sccs/pa The shell will glob to produce rsync -avz --delete /sccs/pa/qa /sccs/pa/field /sccs/pa/configdoodle ${DEST_HOST}:/sccs/pa Which is the equivalent of rsync -avz --delete /sccs/pa/qa ${DEST_HOST}:/sccs/pa rsync -avz --delete /sccs/pa/field ${DEST_HOST}:/sccs/pa rsync -avz --delete /sccs/pa/configdoodle ${DEST_HOST}:/sccs/pa In order to make this more readable i changed this to a push the behavior and shell stuff will still apply. The glob of a remote source will be done by a shell on the remote host. You haven't instructed rsync to operate on sccs/pa or on the contents of sccs/pa but on a list of files and directories that happen to be in sccs/pa. Also of note, no dot files in sccs/pa will be synced because * doesn't match any filename starting with dot. rsync -avz --delete ${SOURCE_HOST}:/sccs/pa/ /sccs/pa Will do what i think you want. All the contents of sccs/pa will be synced. -- ________________________________________________________________ J.W.
