I have a very similar problem to Kanti so I'm going to finish where he left off. The command is run pointing to a dhcp client. The nmblookup works but the rsync command above fails because the IP address isn't passed from the lookup to ssh. Do I then tell my server to do a nmblookup when searching for the host name? -- Regards Wayne ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
