Hi, I read many posts about this, faq, googled, and finally got to write here.
The scenario/question is this: I want to transfer files from Server B -> Server C the problem is that, files that are to be transfered may be open/busy, meaing they are "not still complete, " or they are open while rsync is run. Is there a way to automatically handle these open files using rsync , rsync options ? I mean, It should be like " copy/rsync files to Server C, but exclude 'already open' files" I can handle this using lsof and excluding files individually, but, I would rather prefer rsync handles this automatically. If this feature is not present in rsync, I ask developers: this would be a very nice feature, something like "rsync --exclude-open-files sourcefiles dest/" Thanks. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
