FYI, the package "dlocate" already has support for the same feature.
You probably want to get inspired from /etc/cron.daily/dlocate:
# See ionice(1)
if [ -x /usr/bin/ionice ]; then
# don't run ionice if kernel version < 2.6.13
KVER=$(uname -r)
case "$KVER" in
2.[012345]*) ;;
2.6.[0-9]) ;;
2.6.[0-9].*) ;;
2.6.1[012]*) ;;
# redirect ionice output to /dev/null
# because VSERVER doesn't like it. See Bug#456292
*) ionice -c3 -p$$ > /dev/null 2>&1 ;;
esac
fi
This could be a good start for a rsync initscript patch to support
"RSYNC_IONICE" option.
