Topic: rsync probs :-(

[Steffen Fog Sørensen]

Hi...

I'm trying to make rsync sync my "homedir" on two machines.

The problem is that  when I delete a file on machine-1, it's being deleted on machine-2, but not the other way around. When I delete af file on machine-2 then it's being recreated on next sync

Here's the commandline I use:
rsync -auv --delete -e "ssh -1" root@remoteHostIP:/path/to/remote /path/to local/

That's just the way that rsync works.

If you want to mirror folders in both directions, you could try Unison.  There  is a server-manager panel where you can automate when  the synchronisations occur.

Unison looks fine for ibays, but how do I set it up for sync'en the /home -folder?

# unison -doc all |more

or

# unison -doc topics |more

The i-bay synchronisation timetable set up via the server-manager panel is held in

/var/spool/cron/root
