Question use rsync to update my music server from my windows notebook
Hello all,

I am fairly new to unix/linux. I am using Ubuntu 10.10 as a server.

I use a laptop that is Windows based (windows 7 ultimate) and I store my music library on that machine.

I was hoping to use rsync to make sure any changes that happen to my music on my computer will be reflected on my server at home. It can be through samba, rather than ssh, as it is my home network so I am not concerned about security.

What is the best way for me to do this? I want to make sure that my laptop files are never altered - i just want the server to be updated (i.e. just check for new files or modified files and if there are no changes from the host and remote, then skip that file).

If I use cygwin or Grsync for windows, would the following work for what I want to do?
rsync -avz /users/user/my music ubuntu:/music

xunmapsubwindows

XUnmapWindow(3) 						  XLIB FUNCTIONS						   XUnmapWindow(3)

NAME

       XUnmapWindow, XUnmapSubwindows - unmap windows

SYNTAX

       int XUnmapWindow(Display *display, Window w);

       int XUnmapSubwindows(Display *display, Window w);

ARGUMENTS

       display	 Specifies the connection to the X server.

       w	 Specifies the window.

DESCRIPTION

       The XUnmapWindow function unmaps the specified window and causes the X server to generate an UnmapNotify event.	If the specified window is
       already unmapped, XUnmapWindow has no effect.  Normal exposure processing on formerly obscured windows is performed.  Any child window will
       no longer be visible until another map call is made on the parent.  In other words, the subwindows are still mapped but are not visible
       until the parent is mapped.  Unmapping a window will generate Expose events on windows that were formerly obscured by it.

       XUnmapWindow can generate a BadWindow error.

       The XUnmapSubwindows function unmaps all subwindows for the specified window in bottom-to-top stacking order.  It causes the X server to
       generate an UnmapNotify event on each subwindow and Expose events on formerly obscured windows.	Using this function is much more efficient
       than unmapping multiple windows one at a time because the server needs to perform much of the work only once, for all of the windows,
       rather than for each window.

       XUnmapSubwindows can generate a BadWindow error.

DIAGNOSTICS

       BadWindow A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.
