If I understand this correctly, you're looking for a way to make sure that the rsync completes successfully before moving on to the rest of your script. bash would allow you to do this with the '&&' operator (in this case rsync is command1 ):

Code:
command1 && command2

From the bash man page, "command2 is executed if, and only if, command1 returns an exit status of zero."

So, something you might be able to use would be :

Code:
rsync -options file.xx remotehost:/path/to/store && rm file.xx

The gotcha here is that rsync can fail for a couple different reasons and if it does, the second command would not execute.
