hi
We have a box here connected to an antenna receiving rather large
amounts of metheorological data from a satellite. the data is received
and ransferred to another box and removed from the receiving server. I
first thought of using rsync for this, but it seems --remove-source-
files has no way of checking if the file is open or not, so if the
receiving process is still writing to a file, rsync will transfer the
file and unlink() it without bothering if the file has been modified
any further, effectively resulting in a corrupt file. I solved this
with a rather clumsy script doing md5sums for fils at both ends and
checking if I have the exact same file at both sides some time after
transfer. this works, but it's not really optimal.
Does anyone know if rsync could be better on this somehow?

I all pedagogikk er det essensielt at pensum presenteres
intelligibelt. Det er et elementært imperativ for alle pedagoger å
unngå eksessiv anvendelse av idiomer med fremmed opprinnelse. I de
fleste tilfeller eksisterer adekvate og relevante synonymer på norsk.
