It looks like something is making the process terminate abnormally. With a -v, you'd get a results blurb, even if there was nothing to do. tconway@atlas:/users/tconway/test >rsync -a a/. b tconway@atlas:/users/tconway/test >find a b -print a a/b a/b/c a/b/c/d a/b/c/d/e b b/b b/b/c b/b/c/d b/b/c/d/e tconway@atlas:/users/tconway/test >rsync -va a/. b building file list ... done wrote 118 bytes read 20 bytes 276.00 bytes/sec total size is 0 speedup is 0.00 tconway@atlas:/users/tconway/test >
I'd suggest a truss (as you're on solaris). If it doesn't show, add -f and watch the child process. You should probably try a purely-local copy. I've run into odd, sudden deaths of rsync processes myself. I gave up on figuring them out, long ago. Good luck.

(solaris 5.7) worked perfect... 'til 1 week ago !! Everybody claims nothing has been changed in the configs of the machines (couldn't find anything, though), but rsync is doing nothing at all. just after being called it exits without any error message, warning, whatever.. here the log files. I did the sync on mecc27 and mecc29 just in case... and it showed different behaviour !!! BTW, the two directories are local to each machine, no NFS. on mecc27 : /home/cadmgr/bin/rsync -avuz --delete -v -v -v -v -v -v -v -v -v /export/home1/Modules mecc29:/export/home3 > 27.log cmd= machine=mecc29 user= path=/export/home3 cmd=remsh mecc29 rsync --server -vvvvvvvvvvulogDtprz --delete . /export/home3 local_version=24 remote_version=24 building file list ... make_file(4,Modules) make_file(4,Modules/share) make_file(4,Modules/share/init) make_file(4,Modules/share/init/bash) make_file(4,Modules/share/init/csh) make_file(4,Modules/share/init/ksh) make_file(4,Modules/share/init/perl) make_file(4,Modules/share/init/sh) make_file(4,Modules/share/init/tcsh) make_file(4,Modules/share/init/zsh) and on mecc29 : /home/cadmgr/bin/rsync -avuz --delete -v -v -v -v -v -v -v -v -v mecc27:/export/home1/Modules /export/home3 > 29.log cmd= machine=mecc27 user= path=/export/home1/Modules cmd=remsh mecc27 rsync --server --sender -vvvvvvvvvvulogDtprz --delete . /export/home1/Modules local_version=24 remote_version=24 as there is no error message displayed at all, I have no idea on what to check to solve this problem. Anyone having pointers for me ?????
