rsync option for continuing event i/o errors occured on remove server

[Daniel Laffien]

Hi there,

I do rsyncs on a buggy wireless connection and also had a similar problem.
I wrapped the rsync call with a small shell script looping until the  
return code is 0.

E.g:

echo Rsync Loop running...'
rc=1
while [ $rc -gt 0 ]
do
	rsync <parameters>
	rc=$?
done

Works good for me!

Best regards,
Daniel Laffien
