rsync - Jul 2004 - Realtime rsyncing

Hi,
I am trying to synchronise two directories on separate machines across a 
network using rsync, but I want to apply rsync whenever the contents of the 
directories are altered, rather than using a cron job. Does anyone have any 
ideas? We are running Redhat9.0.
Thanks
Henry

You might want to look at dnotify:

It's likely that rsync isn't the right tool for the job you're
describing
IMHO.
