/usr/bin/rsync -qa -e ssh /home/user/path remoteuser@remotehost:path
-q tells rsync to shut up and thus not trigger any mails from cron if
everything works fine (errors will still be delivered)
-a This is equivalent to -rlptg. It is a quick way of
saying you want recursion and want to preserve
everything.
Since you won't be able to enter any passwords you have to use RSA
authentication (generate a key pair and store the pricate key in
~user/.ssh/identity on your machine and the public key in
~remoteuser/.ssh/authorized_keysi)
If you are not familiar with these things have a look at the ssh and
ssh-keygen man pages or ask me so I can tell you the details.
Hope this helps,
Boris
