rsync - Jan 2004 - start a batch after rsync

Hello,

I would like to replicate one file from one machine to a second one with 
  rsync. After the file is copied ( rsync in read mode ), if the file 
has changed i must start a small batch, if it has not change I must do 
nothing.

What's the easiest way to do this ?

Thanks you
Andreas

Ask for very verbose output. Then, you'll either get the filename, or
you'll get "filename is uptodate". So, if you can't find
" is uptodate"
in rsync's output, start your script:

$ rsync --many-options-here 2>&1 | grep ' is uptodate$' >
/dev/null 2>&1 || ./your_script.sh

Of yourse, fi

What constitutes easiest will depend on a number of factors.

Until you have thought of at least three ways of doing it
you don't know the problem well enough.  None of the first four
that come to mind are difficult.
