Hi, I would like to diff two files using rsync.
Here is a little background, I use a little pair of scripts to keep sync-ed at work and home. Sometimes I forget which copy is up to date, and rsync says that both should be updated... ./put_to_beta.sh -n building file list ... 233 files to consider ... Analysis/TP_FP/cd_hit_fp_tn.sql ... ./get_to_genus.sh -n receiving file list ... 228 files to consider ... Analysis/TP_FP/cd_hit_fp_tn.sql ... I would like to do something like... rsync --diff Analysis/TP_FP/cd_hit_fp_tn.sql [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/Dest/Dir so I could quickly decide to put or get this file (or do a merge). I have been using cvs, but it is a hassle to set up and maintain (especially when I shift directories around all the time in a hap-hazard way, and I mix raw data files and small sripts etc., etc.). Basically I would like to use rsync for this because of its convenience, and the diff problem seems to fit the way rsync works (although I am totaly ignorant of the details). Those people who offer the suggestion of 'use a wrapper script' in response to similar feature requests, can you please give an example? I am sorry if this question has already been answered, but doing the following... http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Flists.samba.org+rsync+diff Turns up around 1600 hits. Thanks very much for any information you can give, All the best, Dan. -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
