No hard links, some sym links. But I see what you are saying. Here is my crontab entry via /etc/crontab

• 22 * * * root rsync --delete -avvH --progress source target

• aurf

So you want rsync to run every minute in the 10 PM hour? I think that first "*" needs to be replaced with a number designating the minute within the hour during which you want it to start. What you have there would kick off separate jobs at 22:00, 22:01, 22:02, etc.

I think I been staring at the screen too long.

Thanks for that catch, my bad.

I am a lamerz.
