Do you know when the "last file" has been created? Are you able to identify it? NO

You seem to know the creating program / script. Are you able to modify it? If you can modify it to work that will be great.

Do you REALLY have to rsync before the last files has arrived? Can't you wait until they're complete? The process doesn't seem to take that long.

So the sample i showed you is just for splitting a 73 G file. In actual fact the file i have to split is 3 TB. It will take over 5 hours just to split all the files. It will take another 15 hours just to rsync to complete sending all the files to a remote location which about 1200 miles away. If I ship the 3TB+ as a whole it will take about 2 days to rsync the bulk file over 1200 miles between hostA and hostB.

The reason behind not waiting for all the files to complete the splitting, is because i want to save time.
Once i receive all the files on the remote server , i will have to worry about total time to restore. If i go through the old school method of shipping 3TB at once to the remote site and restoring at the remote site it takes me about 3 days depending the distance between server A and server B.
If i have to wait until all the files are split before i rsync each file , then I have to endure the time it takes for all the files to split, which depending on the size of the file could be humongous.
The smart thing, is to split, dont wait for the next file, rsync the first spit file , wait till the nest split file to complete and rynsc and so forth until the last file is split. Hopefull by ussing a "nohup" , i can rsynch each file using different sessions.

       -i	Interactive. atrm asks if a job should be removed. If you respond with a y, the job will be removed.
