When using Cygwin Rsync 2.5.6/OpenSSH 3.6.1 for copying files from Win2k->Win2k, I get 2 or 3 hung processes on the receiving-side out of about every 50 runs. These hung processes cause the system to be unable to reboot(?!), requiring a hard reset. Killing the processes allows a graceful reboot every time. I'm currently running both ssh and rsync as services on the recieving side. Originally, I ran them as the SYSTEM user, but that prevented easy killing of the processes, so I now run them under an administrative account.
Here's the invocation I'm using on the client side (SSH is forwarding port 2001 on the localhost to the remote machine through a firewall): rsync --blocking-io --stats --port=2100 -ur --force --delete /cygdrive/d/srcfolder [EMAIL PROTECTED]::module/destfolder I've tried using various levels of verbose output (such as -vvv) as was suggested previously as a fix for older rsync versions, but to no avail. Turning it off doesn't help either. I've also turned off rsync logging for fear that it might be locking the log file. I've also tried the patched version of Cygwin Rsync that was posted recently on the mailing list as a URL. No change. In case it will help any Cygwin hackers monitoring the list, I've attached the output of cygcheck for the receiving-side computer. If anything else I can provide might help, please let me know. Our testing didn't catch this problem before we went to production, and we've been suffering from this for some time, while all my research and efforts have failed. I really want rsync/ssh to be our solution (Open Source advocacy is a hot button in our shop here!) but I can't let this failure to log off or restart production servers continue. jpt ------------------------------------ James Tillman Advanced Systems Design FDLE Webmaster 850-410-8415 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
