You can solve this with --compare-dest and --partial options. e.g. rsync -avP --compare-dest=/full/path/to/dst_dir/ host:src_dir/ tmp_dir/ mv -f tmp_dir/* /full/path/to/dst_dir/ HTH -- $_=q:; # SHERWIN # 70;72;69;6e;74;20; 27;4a;75;73;74;20; 61;6e;6f;74;68;65; 72;20;50;65;72;6c; 20;6e;6f;76;69;63; 65;27;:;;s=~?(..); ?=pack q$C$,hex$1; ;;;=egg;;;;eval;;; _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
