I'm using Rsync 3.0.5 between two Debian boxes. I have an rsync script setup that uses --log-file=mylogfile.log and also I have specified --log-file-format=whatever. But I can't seem to get the --log-file-format to be recognized. I don't get any sort of errors, but the log format that I get is just the default, no matter how I change the format option.
Just for simplicity's sake, I first tried --log-file-format="%t %f" Which (according to the man pages) should simply write a line with the date/time and then the filename that is synced. Am I doing something wrong? Is it not supposed to be in quotes? Is it supposed to be in parenthesis? I have tried many different combinations of things and I just can't seem to get my log files to be formatted in anything but the default. Also, at one point I thought, oh well maybe specifying the log format only applies toward the default log that rsync saves which is specified in the rsyncd.conf file. But on these Debian boxes, I can't seem to find an rsyncd.conf anywhere. They are web servers for my company, not my own boxes, so its a little bit unfamiliar to me. All I know is that 'locate rsyncd.conf' does not return any results. jake -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
