Well I didn't know rsync could spam your console with a banner like FTP. I wish rsync would let you suppress it, but alas it doesn't.
uninett has added a banner which broke cooksync.pl and rpmsync.pl, but I've fixed it, and they should be able to handle any banner now. http://luigiwalser.homeip.net:8080/~david/rpmsync.pl - new version with command-line option support http://luigiwalser.homeip.net:8080/~david/cooksync.pl - old version of the script with just the bug fixed
