This post http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/153262/get-rsync-to-dereference-symlinked-dirs-presented-on-cmdline-like-find-h
explains most of what i want, but basically, looking for a find -H option to rsync. Reason is so that I can hit a source (or target!) dir in rsync by making a nice dir of symlink maps. For eg openVZ names their containers with ID#s which isnt very condusive to careful handling/recognition: 100/ 101/ 102/ 103/ etc Id like to create a dir of symlinks, a map (I think this would work on the target too?) customer1 -> ../production/100 customer2 -> ../production/101 customer3 -> ../production/102 and have rsync write dirs customer1/ customer2/ customer3/ in the target. Obviously I could do this by iterating over the source's 100 101 102 adnd point at custom target names, etc, but that gets tedious and requires manually updating the script to get any new sources that are added. Obviously I dont want --copy-links, as I want only those links mentioned on the command line to be dereferenced, not those inside the tree. /kc -- Ken Chase - Toronto Canada Heavy Computing - Clued bandwidth, colocation and managed linux VPS @151 Front St. W. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
