Hi Joe, Here is a shell script I inherited.  Probably someone before me found it on a website for all I know.  I do not fully understand it however just modify the rsync= line, modify the paths= area, and replace ServerNameGoesHere with the destination server.  You may want to remove the

My preference is to NEVER rsync across an un secured channel. Rsync is easily tunneled inside ssh, and ssh can use rsa encryption keys for authentication. Solving both problems with one solution. HTH Kevin On Aug 15, 2010 2:23 PM, j...@actionline.com wrote: How can one do two or more rsyncs

Sorry about getting a bit snotty myself. But the OP isn't doing the work to solve and learn himself, he just wanted someone to do his job for him. Had I been home I would have googled the answer and posted a link, but I am replying from my phone, trying to help someone too lazy to help
