list files to delete, rather than deleting them with --delete?
...s for N days after they went missing, and am
wondering if there's a way I can coax rsync to give me a list of files
that are missing on the source relative to the destination, so that
they can be later deleted (ie after the N days). I envision a system
like this:
rsync [args] --list-of-missing=FilesToDelete [src] [dest]
and then process ToDelete like so (supposing N is 3):
1. mv ToDelete-2 ToDelete-3 && mv ToDelete-1 ToDelete-2
2. cat ToDelete | grep -vf ToDelete-2 -f ToDelete-3 > ToDelete-1
3. delete from dest files mentioned in ToDelete-3
4. rm ToDelete-3
So I realize I can use --dry...
