How can I use the --password-file switch with rsync in order not to be promted for the users password so I can run rsync in a cronjob? rsync -uavrpog -e ssh /www root at domain.tld:/DESTINATION/`date +%A` --password-file=/quellen/RSYNC_PASSWD does not work! I always get a prompt to enter users root password! -- Jochen Kaechelin
