 It can do that in one of two ways: finish the current file, or back out
 the current file.  Finishing the current file may leave it running til the
 next time rsync runs (assuming it'll run out of cron).  Backing out the
 current file is probably what you want.  Would it make more sense (and I
 don't know whether rsync currently supports this in the way I think of)
 for rsync to back out the current file and exit gracefully if it received
 a signal 15?  This might be a functionality useful outside of the
 environment you have in mind.
 

Well i would like a compromise consisting of two Limits total file
Meaning after total seconds, don't start working on a new file
and try to finish the actual file in file seconds. After the
grace period of file seconds exit anyway and abort the
running transfer.

Re: Using rsync between UNIX and Windows NT

 We have a need to mirror a site between a UNIX Host using RSYNC and SSH to/from

 the possibility of this being done with RSYNC or any other commercial mirroring
 software.Does anyone have any ideas? Can RSYNC be installed onto Windows NT, if
 so how is it done ? If not any other applications you may know of that can? Any
 information would be helpful

rsync 2.4.6 can be compiled under the Cygwin environment into a win32
executable.

 Now my question is, does anyone have a suggestion of a test that I can run
 prior to rsync (which is run through a crontab) that I can use to stop
 rsync? The server actually wasn't rebooted for about two hours so at one
 point it was "down". Basically we sync the servers once an hour because we
 do high volume graphics editing on very critical time schedules.
 

You can use the --backup-dir option of rsync. It doesnt prevent the total 
move of your files, but it is a lot better to have all files
moved to /backup/2000-11-08 e.g. then to /dev/null.
This saves you even in case of accidential deletion or ILOVEYOU mails.

There are exaples under

rsync problems on win32

2000-11-06 Thread Dietmar Goldbeck


  Hello,

i want to use rsync 2.4.6 and openssh 2.2.0p1 with Cygwin. 
When i try to transfer files from Window to Linux
it stops after a few kilobytes. 

netstat on Linux gives this 
Active Internet connections (w/o servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address   Foreign Address State  
tcp0   2264 192.168.16.2:22 192.168.16.10:947   ESTABLISHED 

Can anybody please provide details how to generate
most helpful debugging output?

Any suggestions for versions of rsync and openssh?

  Ciao
Dietmar
