Rsync utilization every 5 seconds

[Greger Cronquist]

A simple way would be to write an infinite loop shell script:


--------------------
#!/bin/bash

while [ 0 == 0 ]
do
  rsync ...
  sleep 5
done

-------------------

This, however, does not ensure that rsync is called every 5 seconds "on the 
clock", just that 5 seconds pass between two consecutive calls.
