This doesn't do what you think it does. The single quotes are getting
literally passed to rsync, they're not reinterpreted after $RSYNC_CMD
is interpolated.
This is similar to running something like:
rsync --rsync-path=\'rsync sudo\' backup@fqdn...
Yep. $RSYNC_CMD will be splitted by space, tab or newline by default, or
by the contents of $IFS, if set.
And no, that is _not_ a suggestion to fiddle with $IFS. :-)
if you need it to be reusable, I'd suggest making it a function or so:
...
synchronize() {
/usr/local/bin/rsync -v -n \
--rsync-path='/usr/bin/sudo /usr/local/bin/rsync' \
--archive --one-file-system --compress --hard-links \
--numeric-ids --human-readable --delete-after \
--backup --backup-dir=deleted/$TODAY \
--exclude=deleted \
"$@"
}
synchronize backup@fqdn:$DATADIR/dir/ $DATADIR/dir
synchronize backup2@host2:/home/ $DIR2/home/
synchronize --ignore-existing backup2@host3:/dir3/ $DIR3/dir3/
...
/Alexander
