I have the latest rsync running on mandrake official 10. At 2:30 I run rsync --daemon from cron to run an offsite backup for all my customers. At 8:00 I run killall rsync. However my log files show the following: 2004/04/20 02:00:00 [2702] rsyncd version 2.6.0 starting, listening on port 873 2004/04/20 02:00:59 [2707] rsyncd version 2.6.0 starting, listening on port 873 2004/04/20 02:00:59 [2707] rsync: open inbound socket on port 873 failed: Address already in use 2004/04/20 02:00:59 [2707] rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at socket.c(395) 2004/04/20 02:02:01 [2719] rsyncd version 2.6.0 starting, listening on port 873 2004/04/20 02:02:01 [2719] rsync: open inbound socket on port 873 failed: Address already in use 2004/04/20 02:02:01 [2719] rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at socket.c(395) This same log repeats until the killall is received at 8:00am Please help and advice. Thanks in advance Kevin

You need to figure out what is running the extra rsync processess (an extra one seems to be run every minute). ..wayne..
Can we see the crontab line? For some reason, you're repeating the daemon startup.
