Robert, >From our testing we did recently on Sun Solaris 2.6 then RSync copies the file up to the point at which it was last saved (i.e. before it was opened for editing). Dave & Martin will probably tell you that you shouldn't use Rsync on open files (results are undefined), but for the moment it looks fairly stable (at least from the limited testing we've done on it so far).

Here is my first question. If rsync comes across a file that is in use by somebody. What happens? Does the file get skipped or does the entire transfer halt? The command I am issuing is: rsync -a -c -v -o -e ssh /etc/much_used_file \[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/much_used_file -- Synaptic Solutions 9 Lees Street Northcote 3070 03 9482 5272
