Topic: proper rsync syntax for smeserver-7.0.iso?

[hmuhammad]

What am I doing wrong?

[root@server download]# rsync -avv rsync://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/releases/7/iso/smeserver-7.0.iso .
opening tcp connection to distro.ibiblio.org port 873

Shouldn't the first part of the url be:

rsync://ftp.ibiblio.org/Linux/distribution etc.  ?

I just call my iso image smeserver.iso. Copy your 7.0rc2 iso or whatever to smeserver.iso then run this command:

Code: [Select]

rsync -avv --stats rsync://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/smeserver/releases/7/iso/smeserver.iso .

Hi Guys

I want to mirror the following http://ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/smeserver/releases/ to a directory on my sme server.  The proble is I can't work out what coding to use.  I also would lik it to check once a day to see if things have changed.

Can anyone help me with the coding and setup?

This works for me:

rsync -avhP --del --stats rsync://ftp.ibiblio.org/Linux/distributions/smeserver/releases/ /home/e-smith/files/ibays/ibay_of_your_choice/html/releases/

I put this in a script in /etc/cron.daily and it runs every day to keep it synced.

Be prepared, just the /7 directory it's almost 4 gig of data.

Put

Code: [Select]

rsync -anvv --stats rsync://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/smeserver/releases . in a cron job.

That won't actually transfer any files.  the -n option is for a "dry run" to show what would have been transfered.

Description of the options I use:

-a = Archive
-v = Verbose (you can use this more than once for more output.)
-h = Make the numbers more human readable.
-P = Keep partialy transfered files (this will save bandwidth if your connection bombs.) and show progress.
--del = delete files that no longer exist on sender.  This is necessary to keep your copy in perfect sync with the server.  You should do this to keep yum working properly.

rsync has MANY, MANY options.  man rsync will show them all.

How do I create a cron task???

How do I create a cron task???

There is a learning curve for customizing the smeserver, here is a good place to start...
Chapter 12. Getting to know how to customize the SME Server

...in this document...
http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs//gordonr/devguide/html/devguide.html

...has this exercise...
"Let us say that you wish to customize your server so that it runs a specified program every twenty minutes"

...to get you started.

happy hacking,
Hasan
