logging on client side on NT

[bart.coninckx at watco.be]

I just did actually:


you have to do a redirecton to two different files, like this:


rsync -rtv --delete --modify-window=2 --stats /cygdrive/g/users/bco/test/
bee2bs01::d/test/ >>c:\rsync\log\file1.log 2>>c:\rsync\log\file2.log


the second redirection "2>>" redirects all errors info two a second file.
The "2" is for redirectnig STDERR.

You can't use the same file, because you get a "already in use" error.

Actually, we're not running bash, I just have rsync.exe and the necessary
Cygwin dll's in one folder and run everything in CMD.EXE. I will however
look into CMD.EXE's capabilities of redirecting everything to a file, but
I'll probably (once again) will run into the limits of using Win32, because
I don't think it has STDOUT and STDERR as in Unix.


Thank you!

The verbosity is sent to STDOUT (file descriptor 1), Errors
go to STDERR (file descriptor 2).  The shell is responsible
for redirection, not rsync.

I'm guessing that you are running bash.  Look at the section
entitled 'REDIRECTION' in the bash manpage.  It does better
job than i could here.
