Dunno if it's of any value but the new Linux Journal has a pointer to |
23 |
grsync which is in portage and built fine on my system here. It looks |
24 |
interesting in that you can create 'sessions' which probably could do |
25 |
much of what at least I'm doing in simple rsync scripts. I'm going to |
26 |
play with it a bit more but thought I'd point it out as I hadn't heard |
27 |
of it before. |
