Greetings All, As a newcomer to Linux I'm fascinated by this strange new world.
This email doesn't require an answer, I just thought it might amuse you to know that I've no idea what an rsync command is (something you type at the terminal, I suspect - and I *do* know what the terminal is and can even go to it. Then I'm lost because DOS commands generally don't work.) I've also no idea what a cron job is. Fascinating :-) The reply made some sense - the syntax is like DOS but what on earth does 'netstat' stand for, I wonder? See you at the next meeting - when is it, by the way? Confused of Stamford. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Phil Thompson Sent: 24 November 2008 20:10 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Peterborough LUG - No commercial posts Subject: Re: [Peterboro] Getting rsync output into a file Edward Kerr wrote: > I am running a rsync command as a cron job, but I would like to have the > output that normally scrolls past you on the terminal sent to a text > file for me to look at later. as a general rule you can direct the standard output into a file using the > character followed by the filename for example netstat >phil.log creates a file phil.log with the output of the netstat command in it, instead of it flying off the top of the monitor. you only get the one file no matter how many times you do it, so it is overwriting without asking.
