Greetings --
I just downloaded and compiled rsync 2.6.4, which has the much-coveted --remove-sent-files option!
Thank you for adding this feature. I use
rsync -rutvn --exclude-from=nosync --remove-sent-files /ssa/TV/2005/ /tv1/2005/
to move files selectively to a storage computer, but I want to avoid including files that are currently
being captured. When I include today and a great relative yesterday like this
*$(date +%F)* *$(date --date="-1 day" +%F)*
in the nosync file, files like 2005-04-03_19:00_KCBS_60_Minutes.txt still get included. I then try
rsync -rutvn --exclude=$(date +%F) --exclude=$(date --date="-1 day" +%F) --exclude-from=/ssa/TV/scripts/nosync --remove-sent-files /ssa/TV/2005/ /tv1/2005/
which works, but the strings are long and rsynch appears not to allow \ to break a long line (?)
Wouldn't it be useful to allow expressions in the exclude file?
David
