hello, I'm new with rsync (shame on me ignoring this great tool for many years!) For the following question I could not get an answer from the docs: Is it possible to run rsync in a force mode like `cp -f? for overwriting files without write permission? I need this for a local rsync. What I'm actually doing is to run `find . -type f -perm u-w -exec chmod u+w {} \;? on the destination

Here is the structure of my servers : Source : /home/test1/link_dir sub_dir1 file1 file2 ... sub_dir2 ... Destination: /home/test2/real_dir sub_dir1 file1 file2 ... subdir2

Hello, whereas most people take passwd/shadow/ldap/<whatever> as the place where decision on a chrooted environment / sandbox for certain users is met (just set the given usershell appropriateley), I needed a somewhat different approach. Below is a tiny patch to 2.2.0p1 which enhances the sshd-config by two options and, when set, places all users / users of a certain group immediately in

I feel completely stupid for asking this question, but I have an essential problem of getting the syntax right for synchronizing multiple files. I am trying to use rsync to synchronize files generated in one directory with our public directory our web server. We have a number of files with the extension html so I have tried the following command line: rsync *.html

How about adding a --no-detach option (to be used in combination with --daemon) to rsync so it can be run under Dan Bernstein's daemontools' supervise? If there's interest I'll provide a patch. -- Jos Backus _/ _/_/_/ Santa Clara, CA _/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/_/ _/ _/ _/ _/

Hi, I am trying to mirror a server every night using rsync. I have to backup multiple directories and multiple individual files. I also want to use ssh as transport. The problem is that I cannot get ssh to work without asking password for each step. I tried the public key thing but it doesnt work. Can some one give instructions for a layman like me. Also I want to know how to pass argument to

Hi there, is it possible to use regular expressions in the exclude-paramter of rsync ? For example: rsync --exclude "/path/to/*/[Ff][Oo][Ll][Dd][Ee][Rr]" I've tried it, but it will take no effect. -- SET THE CONTROLS FOR THE HEART OF THE SUN Jens

Hi * I'm using rsync to mirror software from one Sun Workstation (mecc27) to the other (mecc29). (solaris 5.7) worked perfect... 'til 1 week ago !! Everybody claims nothing has been changed in the configs of the machines (couldn't find anything, though), but rsync is doing nothing at all. just after being called it exits without any error message, warning, whatever.. here the log

I'm interested in the *best* way to set particular permissions on the machine I am rsync'ing content to. These are the specifics of our setup: 1 client pushes to remote 2 remote machine = AIX running rsync daemon as chroot 3 client machine = NT running CYGWIN 4 directory tree on client has many files/directories with many differnt permissions/owners etc. 5 We wish ALL the

Hi, I have a rsync server set up. Can i push data from the server to another machine instead of pulling data from that machine. when i try to do that i get this error. mkdir tohost:/tmp ; No such file or directory. But the directory exists. This is the command i executed. rsync -avz --rsync-path=/usr/bin/rsync fromhost::test tohost:/tmp This works fine if iam logged onto "tohost"

When data in a file is overwritten, starting somewhere in the middle of the file, the overwritten space is counted twice against the space usage numbers. Is this a bug, or did I something wrong? This is what I did: I create a subvolume and limit it to 4 MB, and create a 1000 KB file in the subvol: # btrfs subvol create s Create subvolume ''./s'' # btrfs

It would be useful to run the "doveadm" utility on a non-dovecot server e.g. generating password hashes: # echo plaintextpass | doveadm pw -s BLF-CRYPT doveadm(user): Fatal: Error reading configuration: stat(/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf) failed: No such file or directory Is there a way to circumvent the need for a configuration file?

Hi, I need to mirror some Linux directories on a Win2000 box but the owner, group and permissions are lost. I realize Win2000 does not use the same system but thought there may be some way around it with cygwin. Is it possible to mimick /etc/passwd to preserve ownership etc? Is there a better solution?

A cvs checkout asterisk -t gets to this part and sits forever: S-> server_register(fpm-world-mix.mp3, 1.1, , , , , ) S-> Register(fpm-world-mix.mp3, 1.1, , , ) Anyone know how I can just skip the file?

Hi all, this is my first post in this mailing group. I hope that anyboby could help me parsing a xml file.

I have a zpool which has grown "organically". I had a 60Gb disk, I added a 120, I added a 500, I got a 750 and sliced it and mirrored the other pieces. The 60 and the 120 are internal PATA drives, the 500 and 750 are Maxtor OneTouch USB drives. The original system I created the 60+120+500 pool on was Solaris 10 update 3, patched to use ZFS sometime last fall (November I believe). In
