I'm using rsync to mirror a big CVS repository. It's version 3.0.2 at both ends. Cron runs rsync every 12 minutes. I would like to get no e-mail from cron if the transfer goes with no errors. Instead I get a message every time there is an update, with a line for each file transfered.
On the server the rsync is initiated with a command like this: /usr/local/bin/rsync -aqzC --delete --password-file=/etc/rsync.pwd \ /path/to/cvs client.domain::cvsnew > /dev/null The connection is made with an rsync inet daemon on the client. I thought the -q option and the redirection to /dev/null would keep it quiet under normal circumstances. Apparently not. There's no rsyncd.conf on the server. On the client it looks like this: log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log [cvsnew] path = /path/to/cvsnew comment = CVS repository mirror read only = no uid = www gid = users auth users = myuserid secrets file = /usr/local/etc/rsyncd.secrets hosts allow = server1.domain server2.domain hosts deny = 0.0.0.0/0 transfer logging = yes Maybe I don't understand "transfer logging". I believe it makes the client log its actions in "log file". The nuisance e-mails are coming from the server. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
