Tom, Doesn't matter when I try it. Aaron, I am able to cause a premature exit by running against a source machine's rsync that doesn't exist. By default, openrsync will invoke "rsync". So if you're running % openrsync whatever wherever It will look for "rsync" on the local computer. On my machine: % /usr/bin/openrsync --rsync-path /usr/bin/muppet -v xyzzy/ xyzzy/ io.c:224: error: unexpected end of file io.c:247: error: io_read_nonblocking io.c:638: error: io_read_buf client.c:56: error: io_read_int Is this the case with you? You can verify by running: % /usr/bin/openrsync --rsync-path /usr/bin/openrsync -v xyzzy/ xyzzy/ flist.c:1076: warning: xyzzy/: skipping directory Transfer starting: 0 files Transfer complete: 16 B sent, 17 B read, 0 B file size Of course, if you use -a, % /usr/bin/openrsync --rsync-path /usr/bin/openrsync -va xyzzy/ xyzzy/ Transfer starting: 64 files Transfer complete: 16 B sent, 2.3 KB read, 290.6 KB file size Either way, I'll cook up a patch to have an error message following the execvp in main.c. Best, Kristaps
