Hi,
I am a newbie to Rysnc and a had a quick question, the answer for which I
wasn't able to find in the documentations.
Currently I have Solaris system A which has files that are being generated
and changed in real time. I am running rysnc in daemon mode on A.(server)
On system B I use the appropriate rysnc command to connect to system A and
sync all the files on B. I am having to either manually initiate the command on
B or run a
cron job on B to initiate the rysnc every few minutes to A.
Is it possible to run rysnc in daemon mode on system B(client) as well such
that rsync will auto detect modifications and sync all the files with system A
in real-time?
If yes could someone give me pointers to how I would need to configure the
rsync daemon on the client to achieve this?
Thanks
Piyush

Using cron is the only option with rsync. You may want to investigate DRBD or csync2, but possibly those are only available for linux. Otherwise using a NAS or SAN, depending on your situation (you don't really tell much) might be more appropriate for your needs. Paul
