Dynamically determined include/exclude list.
Is there a way to define a module within rsyncd.conf such that its include/exclude list is dynamically determined by executing a host command, e.g. find? If it can't be done today, is it the sort of feature which would be considered for future development? -- Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | I believe that the Bible is the Phone: 1-613-726-0014 | Ottawa, Ontario | Word of God.

In the CVS version of rsync, you could specify a pre-xfer exec command that could run anything you like (such as find). However, the only way that could affect what gets included/excluded in the already-started transfer would be for you to use per-directory filter files. For example, if you have this filter rule in your config file: filter = dir-merge .auto-filter Rsync would look for filter rules in a file named .auto-filter in every directory of the transfer and react accordingly. See the manpage for more details. ..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

[quoted lines by Wayne Davison on 2005/11/10 at 12:09 -0800] In the CVS version of rsync, you could specify a pre-xfer exec command that could run anything you like (such as find). Does this then write the output of, say, find to a file which is picked up later (during the transfer) by something like include from? However, the only way that could affect what gets included/excluded in the already-started transfer would be for you to use per-directory filter files. For example, if you have this filter rule in your config file: What I'm looking for is the ability to only transfer files which meet a certain set of criteria, e.g. only files which are owned by a certain user. -- Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | I believe that the Bible is the Phone: 1-613-726-0014 | Ottawa, Ontario | Word of God.
