similar to: 4.4BSD chflags support for rsync

Howdy, I'm trying to get a report from rsync using the -n option which will produce a report of files that are different in a ls -al kind of style so one could analyze what's different before possibly clobering a good file. Is this possibly in the works or does anyone have any ideas on how this might be done. It seems like a useful option to rsync to have. Regards, George...

Maybe this is a ssh problem - but are you aware of the general issue ? http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=182 Summary: ssh should still force SIGCHLD to be SIG_DFL when calling ssh-rand-helper Product: Portable OpenSSH Version: 3.1p1 Platform: ix86 OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: normal

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

I have so far been unable to get rsync to work properly in a test setup. Does anyone have any ideas? Both PCs are running RedHat 7.2. The Server: IP Address 192.168.0.202 Server Name: RH72TB hosts.allow ALL: 192.168.0.201 rsyncd.conf: [testmodule] path = /tmp The Client: IP Address 192.168.0.201 hosts file: 192.168.0.202 RH72TB I have run "rsync --daemon" on the server.

Rsync reports the status code of the remote command. So in some situations the status code is successful when the command fails. Rsync of a remote file to a local read-only directory fails, but exits with $status = 0. I'd like to get $status = 23. Is it possible? Local copy fails with status = 23 > mkdir /tmp/nowrite > chmod -w /tmp/nowrite > rsync /etc/group /tmp/nowrite || echo

I am copying from a rsync --daemon (have tried from both W2K/cygwin & Linux daemons) to a W2K machine. Some files get copied every time even though they haven't been touched since the last copy. I have experimented and deturmined that the file size seems to be important. If the file is between 926 & 933 bytes long it will always be copied!! Other sizes and possibly other aspects of

All, I can't find a way to achive something probably quite wired :). Let's say I have two unix folders (on different machines): /dst-top-1n/ | dir-a | files | dir-b | files | dir-c | files /src-top-2/ | dir-a | files | dir-b | files | dir-x

Howdy, I just built this new version last week and am trying to rsync a running systems boot drive to an alternate drive on a different system (not running on the rsync drive target). The rsync seems to be crossing file system boundaries in spite of the -x flag. Can anyone help me with this please? I've also submitted a bug report. I'm running the rsync from a script that, now that I

Hi - I want to use rsync in combination with a list of files it should exclude, but somewhere I seem to have a problem. The problem is that the files and directories I list in the file to be excluded are in fact synchronized on the remote server. I should add that they are not present on the remote server and shall not, thus, excluding them from synchronization. :) The "exclude file"

Hi All, I'm new to this group so please be gentle, I have scoured the internet and gone all through the archives & FAQ's looking for an answer to this. I'm using v2.5.5 of rsync which I compiled from source on a Solaris 9 box. I'm connecting to a Linux machine over SSH and pulling files back to me. The section from the log that shows the error with vvv verbosity is...

Hello, somewhere on one of the rsync webpages I have seen a list of hosts which have running public rsync services, at least I think it has been on the rsync webpages, but I can't find it there anymore. Or is it anywhere else? Where can this list of rsync hosts be placed? I appreciate your feedback. Have a nice day Michael -- Michael Schmidt mschmidt@fh-koblenz.de MIRROR OF:

Before I start let me say I'm a relative newbie to rsync so bear with me. I've just installed version 2.5.5 and set up the following files on the server: inetd.conf rsync stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/bin/rsync rsyncd --daemon rsync.conf [www] path = /test/test2 comment = Test services rsync 873/tcp then I run 'rsync --daemon'

Hello, I think i may have found a bug in the "max clients" option in rsyncd.conf [we use rsync-2.5.5; All platforms I tried (Irix-6.5.14 and various linux flavours) show the behaviour explained below] The manpage says: |max connections | The "max connections" option allows you to specify | the maximum number of simultaneous connections you | will allow to

Hi, I have been having a problem that seems related to previously reported problems but persists. I am syncing from a 2.6 Solaris box to a 2.8 solaris box. All are running rsync 2.5.5. When I sync (commands simplified for example, always using rsh): 2.8box% rsync -e rsh 2.6box:/path/path/stuff/ /path/path/newstuff/ i.e., the 2.6 box is the server, I get spurious, persistent but inconsistent

Hi. My goal is to use rsync to syncronize box1 and box2. On box2, I have a tapedrive which I write the data I syncronize from box1 every night. On box1, my /etc/rsyncd.conf looks like this: root@box1# cat /etc/rsyncd.conf max connections = 1 syslog facility = local6 [tmp] path = /tmp read only = yes comment = export of /tmp hosts allow = box2 auth users

Does rsync has directory name length limit? I was trying to rsync a directory that has the name length of 34 characters and getting permission denied error. $ rsync -avz --delete --force -e ssh /usr/local/apache/htdocs 192.168.0.2:/usr/local/apache building file list ... readlink htdocs/CorporateLegalTimesEDITORIAL_files/cBug_blueXs.gif: Permission denied readlink

Hi! I am doing backups from a number of machines to an rsync server. For some time I was trying to come up with a solution, which would prevent users from peeking at each other's files, which are backed up. Finally, I've hacked rsync, introducing a new option "write only" for rsyncd.conf. When set to true, this option forbids the transfers from server to the client, thus solving

HI, I'm trying to exclude some files & directories from a filesystem which I would like to copy to a different site. I did: # rsync -avz --exclude-file=/fs21/tmp/perl_scripts/exclude.txt /fs22/a/circuit_design mickey.willow.com:/cpu/store/design where file /fs21/tmp/perl_scripts/exclude.txt contains the following directories and files to be excluded from /fs22/a/circuit_design :

Hello - I'm running Redhat 7.1 Rsync 2.4.6 and am having some problems with the CPU's getting swammped. What we have is basically an 3 boxes, 1 machine (the factory) is a where applications store the images that eventually are used for the site, then the other 2 are the webservers that the have copy of the images. The person who set the machines up used rsync to move any new images from
