------- Comment #1 from m...@mattmccutchen.net 2009-01-12 18:49 CST -------
Rsync is following traditional shell behavior, under which a wildcard pattern
that matches nothing is left unexpanded. (Actually, in your case, rsync relies
on the remote shell to handle the wildcard, but rsync emulates the same
behavior when --protect-args is on.) Thus, rsync tries to copy the file
"/var/log/httpd/access_log.*" with an asterisk in the name, which does not
exist, hence the code 23. You'll get the same result with cp. This is
reasonable because an unmatched pattern is often a mistake rather than a
genuine attempt to match zero files.
I suggest that you specify the containing directory as the source and use
filters to exclude all the files except the ones you want:
rsync -qPtdO -e ssh --include='access_log.*' --exclude='*'
ro...@mysite.com:/var/log/httpd/ /root/myoldLogs/
This will successfully do nothing if there are no matching files.
If you don't like including the containing directory in the file list, you
could do this instead:
rsync -qPt -e ssh --rsync-path='rsync --files-from=<(find /var/log/httpd/
-maxdepth 1 -name "access_log.*" -printf "%P\n")'
ro...@mysite.com:/var/log/httpd/ /root/myoldLogs/
