Thanks.  I do not run a mirror but I do a fair amount of bash scripting and like seeing others code as I always seem to learn something. Thanks for sharing.

else

Hope this helps.

Ryan - If you don't care to share your mirror script, I'd like to see it.

Thanks,

Hi Jim, it's quite easy to do with a script. This first section here checks to see if a lock is present, and if it is, the script bails:

if [ -f /var/lock/subsys/rsync_updates ]; then
    echo "Updates via rsync already running."
    echo "--ERROR: REPOSITORY SYNC ABORTED AT `date`--"
    exit 0
fi

When I begin my sync, it touches the lock file (touch /var/lock/subsys/rsync_updates), and when finished, removes it (/bin/rm -f /var/lock/subsys/rsync_updates). If you need any help or wish to see my full script, just let me know and I can provide it.

P.S: sorry if this message gets repeated multiple times. I just found out my email client was having some issues with the account I use for mirror mailing lists
