Question on --include-from option.

[Loris Serena]

Hi Wayne,

The command was actually split on two lines by the mailer! ;-(
It is (all in one line):

rsync -azv -e ssh --stats --include-from=/tmp/rsync-include-file
ppukweb8:/tmp/loris


What I'm doing here is basically some testing with the --include-from
option.
What should my rsync-include-file look like to sync only specific
directories?
Once I get this working, the REAL source directories are going to more
different in the path.

Plus, I'd like to push this rsync copy from one box to other six boxes.
Is there a smart way of doing this simultaneously, or do I have to script a
for loop for every different destionation host?

Thanks in advance

Loris
