Background:
Our web application picks up files from a repository and processes them --
the repository is accessed by clients using SFTP. There is an rsync script
running once per minute to sync up the client's data on the SFTP server with
the "real" repository on our application servers.
The Problem:
Since the script runs once a minute, it is possible for the rsync to start
while a file is still being transferred to us. What appears to happen at
this time, is that something happens and the file doesn't finish transferring
properly.
So, is there any way to have rsync skip certain files, if they are not
complete? There doesn't appear to be any obvious way to do this. Could
the rsync process be the reason that these transfers are not finishing
correctly?
Thanks for any and all input.
CC's would be appreciated as I am not a list subscriber -- but I will be
checking the archive as well.
