I have two "desktop" computers; three, if you count my new
ThinkPad. The TPad needs a new CAT5 cable, so for now I'm only
considereing the two tower computers.
On the Ubuntu computer I am /home/kline; on my main computer,
my home is /usr/home/kline. The following sh script worked
perfected when my home on "tao" [FBSD] was /home/kline:
P
#!/bin/sh
PWD=`pwd`;
echo "This directory is [${PWD}]";
scp -qrp ${PWD}/* ethos:/${PWD}
###/usr/bin/scp -rqp -i /home/kline/.ssh/zeropasswd-id ${PWD}/* \ klin
e@ethos:/${PWD}
Question #1: is there any /bin/sh method of getting rid of the
"/usr"? I switch off between my two computers especially when
get mucked up, as with my upgrade to kde4. (Otherwise, I do
backups of ~kline as well as other critical directories.)
Is there a way of automatically using rsync rather that my
kwik-and-dirty /bin/shell script?
thanks, people,
gary
PS: Complete disclosure: it works one way [tao to ethos] because
I have created a /usr/home/kline/* tree on ethos. ....
PPS: if this seems like a numbskull query, i only caught a few
hours sleep last night!
