Run rsync through a script that tests the exit value, then prints an
error message if the exit value is not equal to 0 and nothing
otherwise. Run the script from cron and it will send you an e-mail if
there is a problem.
In bash, $? is the exit value of the last command. This is a bit
verbose, but you could put the following in rsync-host77.sh:
#!/bin/bash
TIMESTAMP=`date +%Y-%m-%d-%H:%M:%S:%N`
rsync -av /bogus [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/bogus/ &>rsync-${TIMESTAMP}.log
EXITVALUE=$?
if [[ "${EXITVALUE}" -ne "0" ]]
then
echo "Error: rsync exited with status ${EXITVALUE}"
echo " "
echo "Please check the file rsync-${TIMESTAMP}.log for errors."
fi
To find exit values and their corresponding meanings, search for "EXIT
VALUES" in
http://www.linuxmanpages.com/man1/rsync.1.php
Hope this helps,
