When I discovered incomplete files on the client-pc, I was just importing a file or two on the server via RDlibrary - nothing fancy being done there. I guess I could add a sleep command to my script, but eventually I would be unlucky that Rsync on the client would conflict with some file operation on the server. Maybe Rsync isn't the way to go? What are other people using for syncing /var/snd between computers?
Thank you. Kind regards, Morten 2012/7/31 Gregg Wonderly <ge...@cox.net>: > Practically, I don't think it makes sense to do this continuously.
