rsync - Sep 2004 - rsync via ssh tunnel

Hi there,

I want to put these two commands in just one command:

ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_dsa -C -l sascha -L 873:rsync-server:873 bridge-server
rsync -auz rsync://user@localhost/share /local-path

How can I do this. With Option --rsh (-e) rsync wants to execute the command 
on the remote machine and not on localhost as I want it...

rsync -au --rsh="ssh -C -l sascha -i ~/.ssh/id_dsa -L 873:rsync-server:873 
bridge-server" user@localhost::share /tmp/

Or does anyone know how to wirte the 2 commands in a script and getting first 
the tunnel and after execute rsync on localhost???

Greetings 

Sascha

This was covered a few weeks ago on the mailing list.  While you can't
combine them into a single command, you can run a simple sleep remotely
via the first command and then have the second command use the forwarded
port before the sleep goes away (which will keep the connection open
after the sleep command terminates).  Like this (adding -f and sleep 40):

ssh -f -i ~/.ssh/id_dsa -C -l sascha -L 873:rsync-server:873 bridge-server sleep
40
rsync -auz rsync://user@localhost/share /local-path
