Hello List, i use Dovecot 1.0.7 for pop and imap on Suse Linux 10.1. I need a little help in understanding something. If i want to create a folder with outlook express or thunderbird which can also create subfolders, then i have to create these folders with a trailing slash. folders created with trailing slash are in filesystem created als real folders, "normal" folders are

Hello, This is a feature request for a command-line option to disable special interpretation of trailing slashes on source directories. I have been using rsync for a couple of years now (what an awesome program!) and the meaning of the trailing slash on a source is always the one aspect of its syntax that slows me down and makes me check and re-check the manual to ensure that I have remembered

A trailing slash on a module name has no effect, which is on the one hand logical as it's not a directory name; on the other hand it's not consistent either (as experienced by a user). I suggest at least adding some comment to the manpage where trailing slashes are discussed. Perhaps also mention it in the rsyncd.conf manpage, where perhaps it may be noticed sooner. If I find the time

I'm trying to rsync a folder like so - rsync -aP --delete /home/share_20110801 /lastbackup/ share Under the /lastbackup folder there is a "share" folder. I'd like to rsync all the contents of the "share _20110801" folder directly under the the "share" folder under /lastbackup. I know I can add the trailing slash to the source directory to accomplish this,

Hi, I''ve been trying to deploy a simple Rails app for a friend on a shared hosting account. I was able to get the Rails application running, but the URL need to end in a slash or else it would result in a 400 Bad Request error. After searching through the Rails I wiki found a page on the exact same error (http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/show/Non +VHost+Installation, it''s

Good afternoon all, I'm currently working on a backup script that will fetch a set of logs from remote machines and store them on a central machine. The command I'm using is of the form ${RSYNC} -avz root@${site}:/data/access_* ${LOG_REPOSITORY}/${site}/ Each site usually holds about 8 files with the prefix "access_". Some machines however only have one, and this is where my

Hi there, I have been browsing the mailing list archives in search of a solution to my problem, related to the quite infamous "trailing slash" issue with Thunderbird, but I don't seem to have found any closely related discussion. Please forgive me if this problem has already found a solution. Here I go; We use a lot of TB clients (2.x and 3.x), and we are using Dovecot 1.2.4

Do not pass GLOB_MARK as flag for glob(3) in the daemon implementation of glob, so names of directories will not have a trailing slash. This allows users to have filenames that can be used with other tools, such as rm. Add a new test to check this (based on RHBZ#1293271). A mild behaviour change is that users of the glob API now need to append the slash when building paths using its results.

Hello, I''m using Lighttpd and I am having problems with links like this: http://mydomain.com/controller If I do not add the trailing slash it downloads the dispatch,fcgi as a file. Here is the lighttpd.conf # # Server Main Config # #include "lighttpd-inc.conf" server.modules = ("mod_rewrite", "mod_accesslog", "mod_fastcgi") server.port =

Add a new optional bool "directoryslash" to indicate whether the caller wants trailing slashes in names of directories, defaulting to true (the current behaviour); this helps with interoperability with other tools (such as rm).

Hello, I'm trying to backup partition "/users1" on host "john" onto partition "backup1" on host "mary".

Why does inserting an empty quote ("") into a rsync command cause the current directory to be backed up? Not sure if this is a UNIX-syntax question or rsync-syntax question. Code: #!/bin/sh echo "\nspace between quotes has no effect; only music is backed up:" rsync -ilrtn " " /home/wolf/music /backups/backup1 echo "\nempty quotes backs up current directory

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has run into this issue in which trailing slashes are triggering the controller/action instead of serving the cached page in the public/ directory. For example www.myhost.com/controller/action - will serve up public/controller/action.html but www.myhost.com/controller/action/ - will run the action again. I''m quite newbie with the entire Apache

Hallo! I am running rsync-2.6.2-1.fc2.0 on fedora 2 server. I use incremental backup with rsync, and I have 7 folders that are rotated on a daily basis. At the moment I run backup only one time each day. /home-area on my server uses 18G, and all the 7 backups together fill up 19G on my usb-disk, so I think my script works okay. It looks like this: rsync -verbose -progres -a
