Hello again chaps, Well listening to the list there are a few people who want to rsync loads and loads of files but without breaking it manually into sections or needing lots of ram;-) As part of a backup (mirror) scheme I wrote a perl proggy that does this, but I'm not very happy with it. To be honest its pretty bad. I 've had no luck with the example scripts on the main rsync site (they break with large file lists as bash runs out of arg space). Doing the prefered exclude file thing is very flexible but to someone as simple as myself easily prone to error. Surely we can do something like bolt names.c from gnutar and pull the filelist from a file or stdin from a pipe. I 'm willing to try this but as Dave Dykstra knows I'm not very good at this c stuff. So should I give it a try or is it a no no? Thanks Dino -- Mostly my views, there you go.
