I have two workstations I use (one at home and one at work) connected via a private DSL link that each have the directories /home/me. I want to run a cron job to sync the directories (bi-directionally). Rsync seems to work only in one direction (I know I could set up the script on both machines), but I wanted to see if I could run the script on one machine and simply copy new files over to the lacking machine or update files via checksums (where a file has been updated on one machine and I want that updated file to be copied over the old file on the other machine). I am not worried about the case where I might update a given file on both machines at the same time - it doesn't happen. Any advice and scripts that you use to accomplish this? Thanks, Steve Fettig
