Dave, Unfortunately I don't do much coding so I don't think I'm the "right" guy for this job. I'd like to see the emails tho, MAYBE I can cook something up. I was actually thinking about making the "report" even more sexy by what I call the "rdiff" function. Rsync compares files now and might be

I like link-dest, and the "-" for exclude-from/include-from was already something I was planning to add one of these days along with the --files-from option I still plan to write, but --compare-perms confuses me. Can you give examples of when you need it? - Dave Dykstra On Thu, Mar 07, 2002 at

The 2.5.3 "preview" versions do that differently than previous versions; please try that and see if you still want to prevent those lookups and if so explain why. - Dave Dykstra On Tue, Mar 05, 2002 at 08:03:53PM -0800, plug bert wrote: > Hello All, > > A good day to you all. Is there any w

Don't use rsync 2.5.2, it's got some serious problems. They're fixed in the 2.5.3pre* versions in the "preview" directory on the rsync sources download site. Unfortunately we don't make binaries except for released versions releases though, sorry. The Solaris251 binaries in the rsync binaries a

A long time ago somebody volunteered to improve the --log-format and -n options to work for those kind of situations but he never did them. So we're waiting for a new volunteer. If somebody else is interested in doing them I could dig up the old emails where we discussed some of the design. - D

New options are usually handled by just letting the remote side fail when it doesn't understand the option, as you're doing. Perhaps you just shouldn't include it with -a. At a minimum, you'd need to update the rsync.yo and rsync.1 versions of the man page before it could be accepted. - Dave Dy

Try it without "--delete-after". I'm pretty sure that --delete-after also affects --force, so I think it's trying to write to the directory pointed to by the symlink, which doesn't exist. I could be wrong, but that looks like the most likely interaction. Tim Conway [EMAIL PROTECTED] 303.682.

Hello,   I've downloaded version 2.5.2 and I tried compiling that one on a Cobalt RaQ1 server (maybe anyone has heard of them, they have that neat blue front). What I want is to make the RaQ1 a remote backup server, so I thought Rsync would be usefull... The compilation did not work, it stall
