If you must "push" the transfer to the destination, push over the listing from the run, after you're done. If you can "pull" the transfer to the destination, you can take the list directly from the rsync process, and use the output to drive the process of running the commands in real time, rather than waiting for the rsync run to finish. Don't forget your "-v".
If the destination is static, except for the rsync update: before the run find destination -type f -print |sort|xargs sum >beforefile after the run find destination -type f -print |sort|xargs sum >afterfile diff beforefile afterfile |awk "/^$destination/{print \$1}" |sort|uniq |while read file do [ -f "$file" ] && yourcommand $file done Tim Conway Unix System Administration Contractor - IBM Global Services [EMAIL PROTECTED] What is the best way to get the list of filenames being transferred to the destination -- from the destination side? We are not running in daemon mode. We'd like to run a command on each file on the destination after the file has completed rsync-ing. -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
