That would depend on whether or not you find a version of rsync (or other tool) that works with cygwin. As luck would have it, rsync comes with the latest cygwin. I have yet to get it to work, however. bash-2.05$ rsync gump tmp Failed to dup/close : The descriptor is a file, not a socket read error: Connection reset by peer The intent would be to simply replace the "rm -rf" and "cp -r" with a "rsync -r --a --delete" command. - Sam Ruby --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
