Since it recurses down to the files under dir-x and since it could find some files modified there or not existent it would be great if it could just keep going (no permissions to write there) instead of dumping a core and terminating. I tried --ignore-errors but this seems only applicable to the delete file knob. R. > Dave Dykstra wrote: > > Does the --ignore-existing option do what you want?
