if you run this in a script: #!/bin/sh verbose="-v" source="/export/home/db2inst1/db2_backup/*" target="[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/export/home/db2inst1/db2_backup" rsync -e 'ssh' -a $verbose $source $target ## end of script ## Please note that there are *no* spaces in $source or $target Once you are running and happy you can remove the -v from $verbose you can also achieve the same thing using source="/export/home/db2inst1/db2_backup" target="[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/export/home/db2inst1/" because you are using -a the directory db2_backup will be created if it does not exist. > > bash-2.03$ rsync -e ssh -av /export/home/db2inst1/db2_backup/* > [EMAIL PROTECTED]: /export/home/db2inst1/db2_backup > building file list ... rsync: link_stat > "/export/home/db2inst1/db2_backup/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:" failed: No such > file or directory (2) > done > > sent 194 bytes received 20 bytes 428.00 bytes/sec > total size is 633405440 speedup is 2959838.50 > rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at > main.c(791) > bash-2.03$ ls -l > total 1237776 > -rw-r----- 1 db2inst1 db2iadm1 612401152 Aug 31 08:54 > CAMPMOR5.0.db2inst1.NODE0000.CATN0000.20050831085320.001 > -rw-r----- 1 db2inst1 db2iadm1 21004288 Aug 29 16:35 > WAS.0.db2inst1.NODE0000.CATN0000.20050829163512.001 > bash-2.03$ rsync -e ssh -av /export/home/db2inst1/db2_backup > [EMAIL PROTECTED]: /export/home/db2inst1/db2_backup > building file list ... rsync: link_stat > "/export/home/db2inst1/db2_backup/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:" failed: No such > file or directory (2) > done > db2_backup/ > db2_backup/CAMPMOR5.0.db2inst1.NODE0000.CATN0000.20050831085320.001 > db2_backup/WAS.0.db2inst1.NODE0000.CATN0000.20050829163512.001 > > sent 633483071 bytes received 70 bytes 3396692.45 bytes/sec > total size is 633405440 speedup is 1.00 > rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at > main.c(791) > bash-2.03$ > > Any pointers most appreciated. > > TIA, > T -- ----------------- Bob Hutchinson Midwales dot com ----------------- -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
