I have two "desktop" computers; three, if you count my new ThinkPad. The TPad needs a new CAT5 cable, so for now I'm only considereing the two tower computers.
On the Ubuntu computer I am /home/kline; on my main computer, my home is /usr/home/kline. The following sh script worked perfected when my home on "tao" [FBSD] was /home/kline: P #!/bin/sh PWD=`pwd`; echo "This directory is [${PWD}]"; scp -qrp ${PWD}/* ethos:/${PWD} ###/usr/bin/scp -rqp -i /home/kline/.ssh/zeropasswd-id ${PWD}/* \ klin [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/${PWD} Question #1: is there any /bin/sh method of getting rid of the "/usr"? I switch off between my two computers especially when get mucked up, as with my upgrade to kde4. (Otherwise, I do backups of ~kline as well as other critical directories.) Is there a way of automatically using rsync rather that my kwik-and-dirty /bin/shell script? thanks, people, gary PS: Complete disclosure: it works one way [tao to ethos] because I have created a /usr/home/kline/* tree on ethos. .... PPS: if this seems like a numbskull query, i only caught a few hours sleep last night! -- Gary Kline [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix http://jottings.thought.org http://transfinite.thought.org _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
