Okay, here it is:

#!/bin/bash

echo "--BEGINNING REPOSITORY SYNC AT `date`--"

if [ -f /var/lock/subsys/rsync_updates ]; then

echo "Updates via rsync already running."

echo "--ERROR: REPOSITORY SYNC ABORTED AT `date`--"

exit 0

if [ -d /share/CentOS/6.3 ] ; then

echo "--SYNCING CentOS REPOSITORY, PLEASE WAIT--"

touch /var/lock/subsys/rsync_updates

time rsync -avSHP --delete --exclude "6.2/" --exclude "isos/" --exclude "HEADER.html" --no-motd rsync.gtlib.gatech.edu::centos /share/CentOS/

/bin/rm -f /var/lock/subsys/rsync_updates

echo "--CentOS REPOSITORY SYNC FINISHED AT `date`--"

else

echo "Target directory /share/CentOS/6.3 not present."

echo "--ERROR: REPOSITORY SYNC ABORTED AT `date`--"

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
