has this been asked about before ? multilple exclude files

[Jannes Faber]

One tip I got when asking for something similar is this trick:

 rsync
  -a -e "ssh -i /etc/webackup.d/ssh/id_dsa" --recursive --compress --numeric-ids
  --modify-window=1 --timeout=120 --files-from=-
  --partial --partial-dir='/webackup/host/linux/partial'
  --link-dest='/webackup/host/linux/2007-01-27 02.00.02' --filter='. /dev/fd/3'
  -vi --stats -h
  root at 192.168.10.123:'/'
  '/webackup/host/linux/2007-01-28 02.00.01' << ENDFILES 3<< ENDFILTER
etc
usr/local/bin
usr/local/sbin
var/spool/cron
 ENDFILES
. /etc/webackup.d/filters/default
. /etc/webackup.d/filters/default.linux
- mrtg
- adjtime
- statistics
- random_seed
- mtab
- ioctl.save
- aliases.db
- printcap
- secrets.tdb
- .thumbnails
 ENDFILTER

Notice how both --files-from and --filter are directed from heredoc texts.
The filter "includes" two other filter files:  default and default.linux
