My rsync script is called rsync-cooker. I wake it up every 10 minutes
with a cron job that runs this...
#!/bin/sh
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Description : Run from crontab to wake-up rsync
# File : rsync-refresh

ISTATUS=`netstat -i | grep ppp0`
COOKERUP=`ps --no-heading -C rsync-cooker`
RSYNCUP=`ps --no-heading -C rsync`
if [ "$ISTATUS" == "" ] ; then # ppp down
sudo killall rsync-norway.pl rsync-sweden.pl rsync-cooker wvdial pppd
sleep 1s
/usr/local/bin/rsync-cooker &
exit 0
fi
if [ "$RSYNCUP" != "" ] && [ "$COOKERUP" != "" ]; then
# rsync and rsync-cooker are up
exit 0 # so leave them alone.
fi
if [ "$RSYNCUP" == "" ] ; then # rsync down
sudo killall rsync-norway.pl rsync-sweden.pl rsync-cooker
sleep 1s
/usr/local/bin/rsync-cooker &
fi
# ends here
