Running rsync 3.0.6 on OS X 10.5.7 (on a MacBook Pro) and using the -b
flag (and -v --verbose), the "backup_dir" is reported in the output,
but sometimes on STDOUT and sometimes somewhere else. Note that the
rsync daemon running on the "server" is 2.6.9 (on another MacBook Pro,
OS X 10.5.7)
For example, in bash, this happens:
axe-MBP:bin work$ /usr/local/bin/rsync -aub --dry-run -v --verbose --
exclude '*~' --backup-dir=/Users/work/Desktop/Heart_and_Soul/backup/ j...@joe-mbp.local
:/Users/joe/Desktop/Heart_and_Soul/ /Users/work/Desktop/
Heart_and_Soul/ > /dev/null
axe-MBP:bin work$
(all output goes to STDOUT and is redirected to /dev/null)
But by swapping the input and output directories, this happens:
axe-MBP:bin work$ /usr/local/bin/rsync -aub --dry-run -v --verbose --
exclude '*~' --backup-dir=/Users/work/Desktop/Heart_and_Soul/backup/ /
Users/work/Desktop/Heart_and_Soul/ j...@joe-mbp.local:/Users/joe/
Desktop/Heart_and_Soul/ > /dev/null
backup_dir is /Users/work/Desktop/Heart_and_Soul/backup/
axe-MBP:bin work$
In the second case the "backup_dir" report in the output is apparently
not on STDOUT.
I'm trying to parse/postprocess rsync's STDOUT but let STDERR come
through untouched, and I notice that half the time I get this spurious
backup_dir line that's not redirected with the rest of the STDOUT.
