"$rsynccommandline >$logfile 2>&1" is one way - use however many "v"s you need. If you want to accumulate the output of several invocations, "$rsynccommandline >>$logfile 2>&1" If you really want it in syslog "$rsynccommandline 2>&1 |logger $facility.$severity", and make sure you have syslog configured to put that where you want it.

So far, every instance where I've found someone asking about rsync logging remained unanswered (which is kind of weird in itself). As far as I can tell, the only way to do this is to setup rsync as a daemon process so that it will read an rsync.confg. The problem is that I don't want to run rsync as a daemon process, and am not interested in working from a rsync.confg file if I can avoid it. My rsync command lines are being generated on the fly by a perl program running via cron, and then shelling the command to the OS (linux) and handshaking via SSH. This is working fine, but I need a log to determine what is causing rsync to shutdown before completing the full mirror of the server. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can get a log generated from rsync running from the command line?
