this may be close. use the unix tools and glue them together:-)
i have this, cobbled together from a prev script:
echo "rsync with checksum from directory [${PWD}] to
[kline@ethic:${EPWD}]";
rsync --perms --times --update --compress --verbose \
--checksum -e "ssh -i /home/kline/.ssh/tao_nopasswd-id" \
${PWD} kline@ethic:${EPWD};
if [ $? = 0 ]
then
echo "rsync transfer went okay, tao to ethic"|mail
kline@thought.org
else
echo "rsync failed to ethic from /home/kline"|mail
kline@thought.org
fi
exit;
but this fails ......
any clues??
