I like that better. Is there a recognized way of doing that, that others use? To me the obvious would be: PARALLEL_RSYNC=-Flags Possibly: PARALLEL_RSYNC_OPTS=-Flags Should it append-to or override the default: -rlDzR ? I assume we still want to keep '-e '$PARALLEL_SSH (so you can use custom ssh command) and '--protocol 30' if the version >= 3.1. /Ole
