Thanks for your reply. I just figured what was going on. Was using rsync to Mac osx. The rsync version downloaded from fink does have the option for --remove-source-files. The native version of rsync that comes with Mac osx (Darwin 8.10.0) does not. The native version is in the PATH. The rsync script that I'm trying to configure will be connecting to a BSD box, pulling down old mail archive files and then removing them from the source systems. All is good. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
