I didn't write the patch, so I can only beg :-) ... That patch will be very useful to me too!
To the patch author: would it be much more trouble to specify a stop time rather than just a delay? If I want to backup a varying number of systems from cron and limit them to "off hours", the --time-limit patch should go a long way, but if there was a --stop-at or similar, it might be even easier to implement. I vote to include in a future release. I also fully understand the counter pressure to avoid feature creep too. Rsync is great already! :-) On Tue, 20 Apr 2004, Daemian Mack wrote: > Chuck Wolber wrote: > > On Mon, 19 Apr 2004, Wayne Davison wrote: > > > >>On Mon, Apr 19, 2004 at 04:28:08PM -0400, John Taylor wrote: > >>>I have written a patch for rsync-2.6.1pre-2 which adds a > >>>--time-limit=T option. > >> > >>Thanks -- I've added it to the patches dir for now.
