That call does not make use of a daemon -- that would require :: instead of : (and an appropriate module source name). That command pulls files using a remote shell (you'll need to check your config to know which one is the default or configured via RSYNC_SSH), so you'll need to either add your own single-use locking in the pull script, or you'll need to switch over to using the daemon syntax for the source. That command changes the receiving processes to run at nice 19 -- see my previous message for a way to make the sending process also get nice-ed (if needed). > i'm not sure i'm even using ssh, i am running it as a cron job, with the > above command (with all absolute addresses of course) > how do i use a different algorithm? If you want to change ssh's algorithm, see the ssh docs. If you don't need encrypted communications, switching over to daemon mode will be a less-CPU-intensive choice. ..wayne.. -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
