I have a simple script that sends one file to two locations on the same destination server. Here's the code:
DEST="remotehost" SRC="/home/boss/application.conf" DST1="/home/user1/application.conf" DST2="/home/user2/application.conf" RSYNC1=`rsync -caW -e ssh $SRC $DEST:$DST1` RSYNC2=`rsync -caW -e ssh $SRC $DEST:$DST2`
This runs every 5 minutes. What I'm seeing is the first location occasionally gets a *partial* file, but the second location never has a problem. There does not appear to be any obvious correlation to why this would be happening. I have never witnessed the problem when running the script by hand to try and duplicate, witness any error output, etc.
Any idea how to troubleshoot? Or how I can get rsync to verify the file has been transferred without error? A more reliable alternative than using rsync for this situation?
Thanks, Scott
