I'm trying to write a script that runs rsync to pull files and then detect which ones of them have changed. The problem is when I run rsync without the -t flag the mtime gets updated every run, not only when the file changes. It this a bug, by design, or un-avoidable?
My plan was to use the -N bash file test operator to check to see if the file had been accessed since it have been modified. But with the mtime always getting updated it always returns true. Is there any way to make rsync behave as desired? If not, how else can I detect which files have changed? -- Jeff Bearer, RHCE Webmaster, PittsburghLIVE.com Winner 2002 Eppy Award, Best U.S. Newspaper Website -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
