Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Rsync to an external list of URLs
# 8  
Old 10-06-2008
Would this work? I'm trying to:

1. Read first line into a variable.
2. Loop from second line to EOF.
3. Write rsync command with variable as source and current line as target.
4. Pipe results of loop to sh to run as script.

Code:
url_list='~/pathto/file.txt'
current_source=$(awk 'NR==1'  "$url_list")
x=2
for (( $url_list-1 )) in $url_list
print "rsync -avz $(awk "NR==$x" "$url_list")" $current_source
$x++ | 
sh

Should work in the loop, try to set the full path to rsync.
