People,
	I have just been in the throws of setting up a ClearCase MultiSite 
environment, (if you don't know what it is it's irrelevant anyway), between 
two countries, and a thought struck me.

	I have the situation where I want to anonymously rsync data from one place to 
another, (the reason why I use rsync), but I also want to be able to run a 
script on the remote end to generate some files that I want to rsync. 
Something along the lines of the following would be REALLY handy in rsync:

[replica]
	path = /fu/bar/replica
	comment = Packet replica base.
	preexec = /usr/local/sbin/generatepacket
	postexec = /usr/local/sbin/emailstats

	Has anyone thought of this yet?


	A little in depth for the curious types:
1. I have two ClearCase MultiSite replicas.
2. They don't/can't login automatically to each other to generate the sync 
packets to be updated.
3. They both traverse a firewall, and the only open port is rsync.

	So, I want to be able to have a cronjob on 'hostA' like:
* * 0 * * /usr/local/bin/rsync -Hvax hostB::replica/hostB /fu/bar/replica/

	This will generate the sync packet and rsync over.
