Hi Thomas, Bart,
Thanks for the suggestion. I have written a little wrapper script
that checks the flag ( /var/tmp/rsync_is_running ) before starting
a new job, and it seems to be working just fine now.
Thanks & best regards,

Hi,
I have setup a cron job to rsync files between two servers every
hour.
30 * * * * rsync -avz --delete rsyncsrv1::ftp/ /export/ftp/
This works fine most of the time, but if I have a very large
file that needs to be transfered ( many tens of MBs), I run into a problem.
Since the link betwe

Try wrapping your rsync around script thats has some sort of lock
file mechanism
[ -f /var/tmp/rsync_is_running ] && exit 0
[ -f /var/tmp/rsync_is_running ] || touch /var/tmp/rsync_is_running &&
rsync -avz --delete rsyncsrv1::ftp/ /export/ftp/
or something like that.
