Re: Check/compare modtime before deleting?
Thanks Matt. I'll do some research on unison. - Chris On Thu, Aug 19, 2010 at 8:27 PM, Matt McCutchen m...@mattmccutchen.net wrote: On Thu, 2010-08-19 at 11:31 -0700, Chris wrote: I need to keep two identical copies of files on my desktop and laptop, so I want to use the -delete option.

No. As soon as you have one side making arbitrary changes that you don't want to clobber, you need a stateful change-propagation tool such as unison (http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/). -- Matt -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.

Check/compare modtime before deleting?
I need to keep two identical copies of files on my desktop and laptop, so I want to use the -delete option. But I don't want to delete files that are created after last sync. Is there a way to keep files with modtime later than a file of a different name (a flag file created before each sync) when using the -delete option? Thanks and I appreciate any help. -Chris -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
