That divides the entire file-list up into 50-file chunks, whereas I believe that the original poster wanted to allow 50 differing files to be updated before quitting (out of 50+N files checked for being up-to-date). If the file-system scan is not the limiting factor that is slowing things down, then running rsync with --dry-run could be used to output a list of the files that need to be updated, and then that list could be divided into groups of 50 and iterated over. ..wayne.. -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
