I've just started using Rsync and would love to have it run in my NT startup script, but although this works perfectly: dobrin@THEODOLITE:/home/dobrin> rsync -avz billabong:/d/dist/sysadm_general/ /temp/poop rsync: open connection using rsh billabong rsync --server --sender -vlogDtprz . /d/dist/sysadm_general/ receiving file list ... done wrote 16 bytes read 29400 bytes 828.62 bytes/sec total size is 48631312 speedup is 1653.23 from the cmd prompt I get: C:\home\dobrin>bash --noprofile -c "rsync -avz billabong:/d/dist/sysadm_general/ /temp/poop" rsync: open connection using rsh billabong rsync --server --sender -vlogDtprz . /d/dist/sysadm_general/ Terminal readThe parameter is incorrect. : > Recv failed:Connection reset by peer rsync: read error: Connection reset by peer I also tried: cmd /c "rsync -avz billabong:/d/dist/sysadm_general/ /temp/poop" And a few othter permutations.... local to local it works fine. Anyone have a suggestion? I'm sure I just have a syntax problem.
