max file capability

Does 2.4.2 have an upper limit to the number of files it is able to read as it recurses through directories? My rsync attempt stops after reading 199 files of a directory that contains 157 directories comprised each of three to 20 files. In the process of troubleshooting this, I'm trying to sort

SSH Auth from cron

I have been following with interest the threads on ssh authentication for rsync jobs from cron. I initialize the ssh-agent and then set the $SSH variables for the shell used to run the rsync session. I would like to hear your opinions on this approach and whether or not it seems sensible. A passw

Using Expect and ssh with rsync

I've got SSH 1.2.27 installed, and I want to use it instead of rsh with rsync. In addition, I want to run the rsync out of cron so that it is automated and doesn't prompt for an SSH passphrase. I heard that this automation can be done using Expect. Does anyone out there have a good Expect script t
