It just did........I started rsync with the --delete flag than stopped it after a while (using ctrl-c)......leaves an empty directory. No hidden or partial files, nothing! There was a partial file while rsync was running though. No harm done except some wasted bandwidth, I used copies;) I agree about the clean tree though...hadn't thought about files completely being removed or renamed. I should've as I've stumbled across the same problems with discrepancies between the hdlists and available RPM's, using rsync for the updates. Always a joy sharing a thought or two with you, thanks, harM -- Registered Linux User #197998 FSF Associate Member #901 ICQ #146191606 Mandrake HowTo's & more: http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
