Hi, I have been struggling over the last couple of weeks with cron jobs running rsync commands that would simply disappear without completing. I was finally able to run the same rsync command manually and have it die. It put a message on my screen which said "User Signal 1". Could someone tell me what conditions cause a User Signal 1 to terminate the rsync process and what I need to do differently to avoid this problem? Thank you, Dwight Marzolf System Administrator Analog Devices, Inc.

Rsync sends SIGUSR1 as a part of its multi-process synchronization, but that shouldn't cause anything to die. ..wayne..
