Proper --exclude= syntax?
I'm currently syncing the home directories on two boxes with the syntax: dest-host# rsync -av -e "ssh" --delete --progress source-host:/home/ /home/ That's working well. Now I want to exclude /home/httpd/* from the process. (I don't want web changes on one box to affect the other box.) Which of the following is the best/correct one to use? 1) --exclude=/home/httpd/* 2) --exclude=/home/httpd/ 3) --exclude=/home/httpd 4) --exclude=httpd/* 5) --exclude=httpd/ 6) --exclude=httpd Thanks! -Dan __ Do you Yahoo!?

The leading slash is the equivelant of a regex ^ leaving it off will match any directory named httpd however deep in the tree. -- J.W.
