Executing the script at regualar intervals is also possible but would probably a waste of resources. As you see will observe this is one-way-syncing from the stick to your home directory. the --delete will remove files from the target directory that do not reside on the stick any longer. Remove this parameter if you don't want this. Best regards Jan - -- ** Do not use the reply-to address.
