Just as an aside: This is an excellent time to implement a lock file system. As it says on the mirror site,

"We highly recommend the use of lock files in your cron script so that you don't spawn multiple connections which is hard on our servers and on your mirror. If you don't know how to do this, please ask the list."

Lock files are a good thing (tm). I'm sure there's a better way to do it, but I'm doing the following:

if [ -f /some/path/lockfile ] then exit fi touch /some/path/lockfile rsync -blah -blah us-msync.centos.org::CentOS /my/mirror rm -f /some/path/lockfile
