Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting rsync mirror of download directory Post 302311696 by otheus on Wednesday 29th of April 2009 10:22:15 AM

This actually can be a hard problem. How are the incoming files stored? FTP ? SSH? shell script?

Can you run the command "lsof" ? If not, can you install it ? If you can run it, try:
Code:
 DIR=<dir-to-mirror>
 /usr/sbin/lsof -F nc  +D $DIR  |sed -n 's/^n//p;' |sort -u

You can output that to a file and had it to rsync via --exclude-from=FILE option.
Don't forget to put the output outside of $DIR and remove it after each rsync.
