Im trying to script an Rsync batch job to run multiple times a day to back up to Windows 2000 Servers. The Synch works great, but at the end of the job the command never exits. It just sits there is some weird hanging state. Does anyone have any ideas? Thank you.

If this is the case, I believe there's an option that will cause the window to close on program exit, but since I try to avoid MS products, I don't know what it is. If no one here chimes in with an answer, I'd suggest asking an MS-specific forum about this. ..wayne..
I think you're experiencing the well known cygwin hang problem. My suggestion is getting Craig Barratt's compiled package "cygwin-rsyncd" from http://sourceforge.net/projects/backuppc/ and see if that works better. /Greger Ladd, Charles wrote:>Im trying to script an Rsync batch job to run multiple times a day to >back up to Windows 2000 Servers.
