I run a simple self written incremental backup system using rsync's
--link-dest option.
Occasionally, because I've moved things around or because I've done
something else that breaks things, the hard links aren't created as
they should be and I get a very space consuming backup increment.

I just got bitten by a (fairly) subtle problem due to having an
inappropriate location for 'pid file' in my rsyncd.conf.
What I had was:-
pid file = /home/chris/tmp/pid
This works fine until the system running rsync in daemon mode crashes
rather than being properly shut down. The pid file
I can see very complex ways to do this but I can't see a reasonably
simple way to do it.
I want to copy all *.log files from a directory hierarchy and then
delete them. I want to preserve the hierarchy at the destination so
(if I ever need to) I can associate the log files with the place they
Is there a way to copy (for example) the /etc hierarchy from one
system to another preserving root ownership of files and without
revealing root passwords all over the place?
This is actually from and to Debian based systems (from Raspberry Pi
to Xubuntu) so there's no actual root user login

I have searched a little and read the man page but I can't really find
a good definite answer to this.
Can rsync write to a FIFO? Obviously one needs the --inplace to do
this, does one also need --write-devices?
It would be very handy if one can do this, to use as a simple message
passing
