rsync exit 0 before transfer complete

[Donna Livingstone]

Thanks for the reply.

The code works 99% of the time - the outlined scenario has only occurred 
abot 20 times out
of 1500 transfers this month.  It has also worked for three months 
previously wothout a problem.
The only change has been the load on the system in the past month.
Given what you say the only other possibility I see is that the "if" 
code is failing - not a nice thought. I have
mitigated the problem by placing a delay(sleep) just after the if and 
have been running error free for
two days.
