Thanks Wayne!

That works great from the command line. One follow-up question for anyone
with good shell scripting experience:
I'm trying to automate this with a Bash script to grab file systems from a
couple of remote hosts. Here's how I get a list of the file systems local
to the remote hosts within the script:
FILESYSTEMS=`ssh $remHost df -l|awk '/\// {print $NF}'`
Variable FILESYSTEMS then contains, for example:
/
/boot
/var
But when try to make the rsync call from my script:
rsync ... [EMAIL PROTECTED]:\'$FILESYSTEMS\' /backups/B
I can't get the quoting right. I don't know if its me (probably :-) or the
shell or rsync. I've tried variations with '' or " but no luck yet.
The script contains:
rsync -av -e 'ssh -q' --one-file-system --numeric-ids --relative \
--delete --exclude-from=$CONTROL/all.exclude $CONDEXCLUDE \
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:\'${FILESYSTEMS}\' .
But here's what tries to get executed (set -x in the script shows each
command to be executed):
rsync -av -e 'ssh -q' --one-file-system --numeric-ids --relative --delete
--exclude-from=/backups/control/all.exclude '[EMAIL PROTECTED]:'\''/' /boot /dev/shm
'/sandbox'\''' .
Does anyone know a good way to quote or set the FILESYSTEMS variable so I
can effectively run, from within a script:
rsync ... [EMAIL PROTECTED]:$FILESYSTEMS that will equate to [EMAIL PROTECTED]:'/
/boot /var'
Thanks a bunch!!
Not that it matters, I'm amazed by the patches and responses on this list!
Its awesome; reminds me of the old days of the Internet. :-)
