Hi all,
I am running a nightly rsync to pick up changes to mail files on a
remote server using a scheduled BASH script. The transfer works over an
ADSL line. Occasionally the connection drops during the night. A few
questions:
1. How can I get rsync to report connection reset errors?
2. Once a connection has dropped does rsync re-try the sync? Is there a
timeout on this?
3. What's the best way handle rsync errors in BASH?
My current rsync command is:
rsync -av hostname::MailBoxes /mailboxreplica
Thanks in advance
