similar to: FW: Logging on the rsync server from a client connect

Please forgive me for the really dumb question following. I am a complete newbie to rsync. I have been trying to set up an rsync server and am unable to get any logging. I need to know if the following is possible. I'm rsyncing from the client and connecting with ssh to an rsync server. I can connect just fine and the files go with no problem. I'm going from a RedHat 7.3 with rsync

Hi, Whenever i am using the command rsync --write-batch -av --stats `cat $1` -e ssh user@remote machine:/destination/ This is writing rsync_argvs files in the home directory as well as to the destination directory. Can anyone give me any idea as how to prevent the writing of rsync_argvs files in the home directory which is of no use. Regards, Surabhi. > ---------- > From:

Actually, what I do also propogates deletions. Since someone may unpack a tar containing files with earlier mtimes than a marker file, a simple --newer won't do it for us, either. Instead, I generate a list of all items, consisting of name and type, to which i append number of links, size, and mtime for files; link destination for symlinks; and for directories, fifos, chars, blocks,

That's actually a very good suggestion. First I figured that in this way files changed within the hour after creation would be ignored, but they probably represent a very small minority anyway. On the other hand, this does not really rectify the situation, but will allow us to postpone the real sync again until, let's say a holiday, where we have plenty of time to sync. Rgds, Bart

I just did a make clean to tidy up a bit and found four objects were missed. The seem to belong to the CHECK_PROGS set. Not sure where best to put them so created a CHECK_OBJS variable and added it to the clean rule. -- ________________________________________________________________ J.W.

Wayne, I've been ruminating a bit on the qsorted flist and duplicate removal and have an idea. What if we removed end_file_entry() from send_file_name() and instead had a for(i=0; i < flist->count; ++i) send_file_entry(flist->files[i], f, ??) in send_file_list(). As near as i can tell this would be unnoticeable to the protocol. Once done the sort of the file list could be

A thought has been nagging me for a bit now so i'll run it up the flagpole and see if anyone salutes. There seems to be quite a bit of confusion regarding the use of the leading slash as a top of tree anchor for exclude patterns. The manpage seems clear enough to me but somehow it doesn't seem to get through. What if we allowed a leading circumflex (^) to serve the same function. We

Hit the "not a regular file (recv_files)" error last night having replaced a directory with a file. The really dumb part is that this was hit doing a link-dest on an empty destination so the robust_unlink would have presented no problem anyway. I can see no reason why non-directory special files should have any problem being replaced so i've changed that logic too. The new code

This patch causes --exclude-from and --include-from to read from STDIN when given - for a filename. This was formerly incorporated in my --link-dest patch.

This is just a trivial documentation change. The word "link" is overloaded. It refers to symlinks, hardlinks and network links. When looking for references to file links in the manpages the network references get in the way. This patch changes when reasonable to do so the word "link" to "connection" when referring to the network. This is just a suggested
