similar to: pre/post-xfer: How to distinguish between up- and download?

Hi, I've got an issue since about a week and I still can't solve it after a thorough research. I've setup a rsync server on my backup host, with shares using post/pre-xfer exec options but the scripts seems not to even be called : they should write a lockfile, and write in a logfile some information about the transfer request / report. I'm using rsync through stunnel and

Hello, I am trying to configure rsyncd to mount destination encrypted FS (using EncFS) before syncing. In my rsyncd.conf : [test] path = /home/dest <...> pre-xfer exec = sleep 30 ; echo mypassword | encfs -S /home/ encrypteddir /home/dest ; sleep 30 (I have put "sleep 30" instructions just to make some tests) /home/encrypteddir is correctly mounted by rsyncd to /home/dest

Hi all, Is there any way to determine transfer direction (download/upload) in pre-xfer and post-xfer rsync daemon scripts? I want to trigger notification event upon successful upload. If not, consider this to be a feature request for additional environment variable.

i'm posting this to the bind-users and rsync mailing lists in order to get this archived for the next person who needs to do this :) comments and suggestions are welcome, but please cc: to me because i'm not subscribed to either list. craig ----- Forwarded message from Craig Sanders <cas@taz.net.au> ----- Date: Fri, 27 Jul 2001 10:30:20 +1000 From: Craig Sanders

Hello, I've written an howto about making creating a copy (or snapshot) on a remote server (running rsync daemon with backup share) AND managing the overwritten and deleted items. See: http://www.howtoforge.com/backing-up-with-rsync-and-managing-previous-versions-history I've done this by running the rsync command in dry mode first. This way a detailed report is created (with the help

Hi, I have install rsync version 3.0.8 on my FreeBSD server. I've set it up so that I have to connect via ssh with key based authentication. The following is my rsyncd.conf file in my home directory on the server. [ben-desktop] use chroot = no path = /home/bs/backups/ben-desktop/current numeric ids = true log file = /home/bs/backups/ben-desktop/rsync.log list = true read only = false write

Hi I want to use pre-xfer exec function in rsync for permition checking. In my Linux boxes, it successed. But today, I tried to put them in my FreeBSD box, it failed. I've checked the log, but found the pre-xfer exec returns always be -1, which means waitpid failed to get the return status. After doing a little ugly patch for the wait_process function as follow, pre-xfer works again.

(I think the subject is quite descriptive; however for use-cases and details see bellow after the mention of the old conversation and the patch.) Searching the mailing list about this topic yields an old conversation about this from 2008: * https://lists.samba.org/archive/rsync/2008-November/022148.html * https://lists.samba.org/archive/rsync/2008-November/022150.html I'll quote

Hello, I'm attempting to use the pre-xfer exec and post-xfer exec utilities to replace a complicated script which tails the rsync log and does A Bunch Of Stuff at the beginning and completion of rsync transfers. (It will also allow us to throw away a nasty hack which forces rsync to log the fact that is exiting - trying to provide a catch for /all/ possible exit conditions (ie, strings in the

Hi, I want to disable windows suspend before starting backup by rsync. My rsyncd.conf: ----------------- max connections = 6 log file = /var/log/backup-service.log read only = false write only = false transfer logging = no list = false max verbosity = 6 pre-xfer exec = powercfg /H off [C] path = /cygdrive/c/ [D] path = /cygdrive/d/ ----------------- Unfortunately that didn't work.

I run a sshd as well as a rsyncd within cygwin in both, in WindowsXP as well as in Windows Vista. Strange to say, pre-xfer will work in XP perfectly but in Vista only after a previously login through sshd. Strange too, that sshd use bash.exe and pre-xfer use sh.exe which is a copy of bash.exe. Without a previously login through sshd the forked rsync process will hang. If I do remove sh.exe, rsync

Helle everyone, Let's say we have 3 servers, 2 of them have the latest (stable) version of rsyncd running (2.6.9) <Server1> ==> I N T E R N E T ==> <Server2 (rsyncd running)> ==> LAN ==> <Server3 (rsyncd running)> Suppose I want to send a big file (bigfile.big) from Server1 to both Server2 and Server3. It would be a good idea to send first from Server1

Hi All- I am trying to use rsync to synchronize very large files- some are close to 2gb in size. I have copied the files manually to a usb drive and shipped it to the location where the rsync server is running. At the remote location I copied the files to a directory which resides on the rsync server and is being pointed to by the module section rsyncd.conf. The source files have

Does anyone know if the attended transfer in CVS head works with app_queue (and more importantly, chan_agent ?) This is the only thing stopping me from deploying the attended transfer patches.

Hello I am new to rsync but I started the cwRsyncServer daemon on an Windows 2003 Server machine with this exclude option: exclude = *.obj Debug *~ *.bak *.orig .svn Thumbs.db Copy?of?* Kopie?van?* .* This option I have placed in the global section so I won't have to repeat it on every module. You can see my rsyncd.conf file attached. The problem is now all my files get excluded Now on
