--write-batch just hangs?

I'm using rsync version 2.5.7, and I see this behavior with Debian and Redhat installations. This works: rsync rsync://mirror.physics.ncsu.edu/redhat/linux/updates/9/en/os/i386/zebra* ./temp But this doesn't: rsync --write-batch=mytest rsync://mirror.physics.ncsu.edu/redhat/linux/updates/9/en/

Please test 2.6.2pre1

I've just released 2.6.2pre1 to the rsync web site. Please test it to see that it fixes the recently-reported problems from the list. The main fix is the file-list-sorting problem when --relative is used. I've also included several other fixes (though I've neglected to update the NEWS file -- I'

BUG in 2.6.1: avoid --relative !

There's a sorting bug in 2.6.1 that can occur when --relative is used that can make it update files incorrectly (since the file list is out of order, rsync asks for the wrong file's data). ** Do not use --relative (-R) in 2.6.1. ** ** Don't forget that --files-from sets --relative by default. **

defunct process

I have a defunct process (13130) that won't respond to kill -9. It's parent (13127) appears to be an old script running rsh. I have a few questions on this. 1. Is it a potential security risk (beyond the fact that it's not a secure shell) to have an rsh process open for that long? 2. How dangerous

Copies of every file

Hey folks, Today I noticed that there is a copy of every file that is backuped with rsync. They are marked as usual with a ~ This really fulls up my harddisk and I'm wondering why that happens. If there is no real answer, maybe you know a way to delete all files in a directory including a '~'.
