I have rsync using ssh to grab files off my local box, but would like to include some basic error reporting.

If the directory I'm trying to access no longer exists (or other reasons why the rsync would fail) I'd like to be notified vs. checking everyday.

So, for instance:

#!/bin/sh
rsync -azurv -e ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/Users/spaceman/docs . #I changed docs to Docs for example
if [ $? -eq 1]
then mail -s "backup failed" spaceman
fi

The process fails, but just hangs and doesn't exit to mail the error msg.
Any suggestions?
