Full Discussion: How to provide password for rsync in shell script?
Homework and Emergencies Emergency UNIX and Linux Support How to provide password for rsync in shell script? Post 302937978 by rbatte1 on Wednesday 11th of March 2015 06:02:49 AM

What you will find out there in the world is that vast numbers of things are 'just temporary', such as the buildings I went to school in, temporary since 1928 and only demolished in 1995.

I have vast amounts of spaghetti code where temporary fixes have been applied or 'I wrote this just to do one thing' then it grows, gets re-used and we also get a myriad of other tiny bits of code strung together with string.

Whatever the job, do it properly first time. It's good training in any case.


I've also corrected lots of spelling errors in your last post because these threads are not temporary but should prove a useful mine for others in the future.

EXPIRE(1p)                                              User Contributed Perl Documentation                                             EXPIRE(1p)

NAME

       expire -- expire Interchange session files and databases

VERSION

       1.1

SYNOPSIS

          expire [-ra] [-e expr] [-c catalog] [-d dir] [sessiondb]

DESCRIPTION

       Interchange's "expire" expires the various session database and temporary files used by the Interchange daemon.

       If the program "tmpwatch" is available, it is called with the appropriate arguments. Otherwise, Interchange will remove all files itself
       with a recursive routine.

OPTIONS

       -c name
           Expires the catalog "name" according to its settings. Removes all temporary files that are in a subdirectory one level below the
           directory itself.

       -d dir
           Sets the directory that will be checked for session files and/or temporary files.

       -e spec
           Accepts a Interchange expire time setting like "6 hours", "3 days", etc.  The expire time is applied directly to sessions, and may be
           padded for temporary files.
