I made my own lockfiles, and I know they're not as robust as they should be, but I did it in a hurry, and so far they've worked.
#!/bin/bash if [ -f /root/rsync-scripts/centos.lockfile ] then echo "lock file exists, exiting..." exit fi #echo "creating lock file..." touch /root/rsync-scripts/centos.lockfile rsync -aqzH --partial --delete us-msync.centos.org::CentOS /home/ftp/pub/CentOS rm -f /root/rsync-scripts/centos.lockfile

Greetings,
I am new to the idea of mirroring, but I want to support CentOS by sharing some of my bandwidth. I have read over the CentOS Mirroring HowTo and set everything up as it states. However, the instructions suggest that the reader contacts the mailing list for additional instructions for using "lock files", etc.
why not use a CentOS machine ?
