Hello, I asked the below back at the beginning of August but have received no replies. If anyone can help me with this problem it would be much appreciated. If I have not provided some necessary information then please let me know so I may do so. Thanks in advance.
> I have been working on a backup server where I have a server-side script > that wraps the server-side rsync invocation. I have used the client-side > rsync -M (--remote-option) to send options to the server script, > removing them from the command-line prior to invoking the server-side > rsync. This was discussed on Stack Exchange > (http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/297143). It works well. > > However, one observation is that the rsync client's -s (--protect-args) > option passes all arguments directly into the rsync server and only > sends a minimal rsync command-line to launch the server-side rsync. > > This means my script does not see -M options when -s is used. It also > means that the server-side rsync receives options not intended for it > and these cause it to terminate. > > I note from the man-page that the -s option "will eventually become a > new default setting at some as-yet-undetermined point in the future". > When that happens, it will break what I have above. > > So, a couple of questions: > > * is using -M the right way to send non-rsync options to the server side ? > > * could it be considered for -s to not affect non-rsync options that > have been specified with -M ? > > Thanks for your attention. > -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
