This is a shell-programming error -- this tells rsync to copy 3 local files to a dir name that is the last word in $sufx, which happens to be a file named friday.log. Thus, rsync complains that two local files in the current directory don't exist, one with a weird name (based on your $rSvr:$rDir$tDay expansion) and one with the name ">>" (which was word-split out of $sufx). You need to remove all shell-special characters from inside variables because the shell does not evaluate them inside a variable expansion (not without using "eval" to tell the shell to re-parse the resulting string). Explicitly, you'd need to dump the ">>" from $sufx and remove the double-quotes from inside $attr. Then, change your rsync-executing line to this: rsync $attr $bDir $rSvr:$rDir$tDay >> $sufx ..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
