Rsync error

[tim.conway at philips.com]

rsh gives a reduced environment.  if rsync on ApplServ isn't in /bin or /usr/bin, that's probably your problem.  It's such a 
common problem that somebody added the "--rsync-path=" option for just 
such needs.  In my case, i have rsync in /cadappl/encap/bin (symlinked 
into /cadappl/encap/packages/rsync.something/bin).  It's in my path, but 
not the base system path given by rsync (/bin:/usr/bin, which is really 
silly, as /bin is a symlink to /usr/bin on solaris).  "rsync 
--rsync-path=`which rsync` options source destination" should make it easy 
if your systems are identical, else, you'll have to explicitly state it 
("rsync --rsync-path=/cadappl/encap/bin/rsync options source 
destination").

        Subject:        Rsync error
        Classification: 



Whenever I ran the following command from my source server DevlServ, I get 
an error message.
 
rsync /files0/home/userl/test.txt ApplServ:/files0/home/userl/test.txt
 
The error message is:
 
sh: rsync: not found
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes read so far)
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(140)
rsync exists and works fine when I use it to sync up files locally, that 
is on the source server, DevlServ. Also I have set up the .rhosts file in 
my home directory and the /etc/hosts.equiv file. The relevant ip address 
and server names can also be found in the /etc/hosts files.
 
I don't know what I am doing wrong.  I am not running rsync as a daemon 
nor neither do I wish to use ssh. 
 
I am using the rsh protocol and have rsync installed on my local server. 
The remote server ApplServ does not have rsync installed on it.
 
Basically I wish to make all changes on my source server and propagate the 
changes to the remote server using a cron job.
 
Help!!!
