Full Discussion: Rsync to an external list of URLs
Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Rsync to an external list of URLs Post 302241575 by ibsen on Monday 29th of September 2008 06:44:09 PM

OK, so I'm able to loop through the external file and read a line into a variable. (I'm working with Mac OS X.)

Code:
SRCURL="~/Desktop/listrsync/source/";
while read URL
do
	echo "$URL";
	echo "rsync -avz --dry-run $SRCURL $URL";
	rsync -avz --dry-run $SRCURL $URL;
done < ~/Desktop/listrsync/targets.txt

Within the targets.txt file, I have:

Code:
~/Desktop/listrsync/a/
~/Desktop/listrsync/b/
~/Desktop/listrsync/c/

When I run the script, it produces the output:

Code:
~/Desktop/listrsync/source/
~/Desktop/listrsync/a/
rsync -avz --dry-run ~/Desktop/listrsync/source/ ~/Desktop/listrsync/a/
~/Desktop/listrsync/b/
rsync -avz --dry-run ~/Desktop/listrsync/source/ ~/Desktop/listrsync/b/
~/Desktop/listrsync/c/
rsync -avz --dry-run ~/Desktop/listrsync/source/ ~/Desktop/listrsync/c/

As you'd said, the rsync command itself doesn't work when run from within the loop. I'm wondering, since I can get validly-formatted rsync commands from the output, is there a way to simply run them?

Maybe through piping?

Or a temp file?
