Hello everyone, I am trying to write a wrapper around rsync to do some automated file sync-ing between two servers. I am using ssh as the tranport. How can I avoid the password prompt for ssh? I think I can configure ssh to not require passwords, but this would expose the obvious security risk.What are other users doing to get by this? Is there some tricks I can do in scripting that would allow

Has anybody out there set up a rsync environment that allows mirroring of files between two Windows 2000 servers? Douglas Hornyak Senior Systems Architect Spring Lake Consulting, LLC

Is there a good place to get information about the list of all possible output and error messages rsync generates? Or should I just muck around the source code (which I haven't looked at yet) and find them? I am doing something where I would like to parse rsync's output using Perl into a set of data structures. I already have something that works under normal conditions. Eventually

Help ! I am running rsync as a service on w2k successfully using the patch from http://v.iki.fi/~vherva/cygwin-rsync/ I would like to connect to the windows machine from Linux, to automatically backup the windows machine without user intervention. I understand that there are network problems using the native rsync transport under windows. How do I setup ssh with a w2k server? I have the ssh

Here is the first Perl script I've tried to write to run rsync. It seems to work, but I don't see the progress like I should. I apologize if it's sloppy, I should add that it's not only the first perl script I've written for rsync, it's the first perl script I've written at all. ___________________________ #!/usr/bin/perl -w print " This command will DELETE

I am runninng rsync on Ubuntu. It was installed using apt-get install rysnc. I note that the package has not yet been updated to rysnc 3.0. I would like to update using the tar but I am confused how to update the existing installation. On this machine, I am mainly using rsync to send to a cwrsync server (which I have updated already). Can I just overwrite the rsync executable? Any help

Hi folks, I'm having a problem with my rsync between two areas between a WAN. The problem is really odd. I have a script that runs every night. Lately, we've been having problems with rsync. The source side is an ordinary file while the destination side is a symlink. We've been having problems with rsync deleting the symlink and repacing it with the source copy despite having it in

Hello, I have been using rsync to sync data from 1 ftp server to a backup ftp server. Both servers are Solaris 10 X86, and the file systems being synced are a few hundred zfs user data file-systems under the parent/root ftp area. I noticed an unexpected problem in the sync log files, one of the user data directories had bumped up against it's quota, and failed to write the data. That is

What I want to do is use rsync to back up a folder to an external drive. I would like to keep 30 days worth. For example: I have backups of June 1 - June 30. Once July 1 comes along, I want to keep June 2 - July 1 and delete June 1, and so forth. Any ideas how I can accomplish this? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Rysnc-Schedule-tf4104577.html#a11672997 Sent from the

Im brand new to rsync and i been doing alot of reading about it and it looks like the tool I have long been wanting. Bascially i got 1 server, 2 hard drives. partions are / /boot /home /usr /var /backup (2nd drive) Bascially what i am looking at doing is mirroring the first drive to the 2nd drive, and once that intial one is moved over, have a cron run nightly (or when specified) that will

I am getting errors when I try and do a dry-run of a local rsync on cygwin on windows 2000. Here is an example command line: /usr/bin/rsync --archive --dry-run --ignore-times --stats --verbose /cygdrive/d/EarthBulletin/data/ /cygdrive/d/EarthBulletin/data_new/ It fails with the following messages: rsync.exe.stackdump rsync: read error: Connection reset by peer rsync error: error in rsync

hello, I'm running an Gentoo distribution on my computer, lately I've started to get error messages that are rsync related. here is a log of the output: Fetching most recent snapshot Attempting to fetch file dated: 20080219 portage-20080219.tar.bz2: OK Syncing local tree... building file list ... rsync: link_stat "/var/tmp/emerge-webrsync/portage/180" failed: No such file or

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

In general I try not to post questions to forums until I've tried my best to read about them in the available documentation. I recently undertook a project that used odfWeave and have been very pleased with the package. But, the R help documentation suggests that there are more sophisticated things I can do - for example, with conditionally formatted tables. Can anyone point me to

Hello, We recently undertook to migrate our domain from samba-TNG to samba-2.2.2. However, it did not go smoothly. One of the main reasons is that even if you start 2.2.2 with the domain SID from the TNG installation, you find that the users' RIDs are different. This is because samba-TNG calculates the RID from the unix UID using the formula UID*4 + 1000 where as 2.2.2 uses UID*2 +1000. At

First I would like to thank everybody who has contributed to the Postfix pages so far. I recently undertook replacing our existing mail server (which used the CentOS 4 howto at hughesjr.com) with a new machine running CentOS 5 in Xen. The machine is actually running two Xen images: mail and web server (the old machine did both functions in one install). I have done two things that go beyond

Hi, Rsync is a fantastic program, and it does everything we need in terms of file transfer and syncing source and destination file directories. We do have a situation now where we need rsync to transfer the files once only from the source directory. Please let me briefly explain using a simple generic exmple: 1. At t0, we transfer f0 location A to location B 2. At t1, 10 new

Hello, Can someone point me to documentation on how to best backup a samba member server? I see the wiki currently does not contain one. Is it as simple as backup all shared folders with rysnc or similar that will preserve ACLS along with the smb.conf? I'm currently relying on a raid solution. Thanks. -- -James

There has recently been some discussion on the list about AD Model builder and the suitability of R for constructing the types of models used in fisheries management. https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2006-January/086841.html https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2006-January/086858.html I think that many R users understimate the numerical challenges that some of the typical
