If you have a ton of file in /somedirectory/ then the shell will complain when it tries to construct a list of arguments a mile long. > Doing " rsync -a /somedirectory . " does work. Yes, and you should also note the difference between /somedirectory and /somedirectory/ which in rsync cause different things to happen. If /somedir contains files a, and b, then this: rsync -a /somedir /destdir will create /destdir/somedir/a and /destdir/somedir/b whereas: rsync -a /somedir/ /destdir will create /destdir/a and /destdir/b Cheers Tony -- Tony Mountifield Work: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.softins.co.uk Play: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://tony.mountifield.org _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
