I'm using rsync version 2.5.7, and I see this behavior with Debian and Redhat
installations.
This works:
rsync rsync://mirror.physics.ncsu.edu/redhat/linux/updates/9/en/os/i386/zebra* ./temp
But this doesn't:
rsync --write-batch=mytest
rsync://mirror.physics.ncsu.edu/redhat/linux/updates/9/en/os/i386/zebra* ./temp
I've also tried with my normal args, like "-vvvvv --progress -t --recursive", but
always with the same results:
Instead of any update, with the --write-batch=mytest argument, rsync just hangs.
I've looked at the issue with strace and ethereal.
What rsync _does_ do, in the --write-batch case, is:
1) connect to the server
2) find the directory
3) print the MOTD
4) exchange protcol versions (26)
5) create mytest.rsync_argvs, containing only "rsync --read-batch=mytest
${1:-./temp}", in the current working dir
6) calls brk successfully
7) calls select with a timeout of 60 sec, which times-out every time, indefinitely.
Any ideas?
