Sounds promising. The pitfall you with rsync in threads is that rsync forks with a COW expectation using a great deal of data set prior to the fork. Some of that data is altered. In particular a slew of global variables that must become thread unique when modified or things will break in subtle ways. -- ________________________________________________________________ J.W.
