Hi, easiest way to prevent doubles is checking the process list. E.G. create a bash-script for your mirroring, that checks if there is already a connection to msync.centos.org::CentOS ---- SNIP ---- #!/bin/bash if [ "$(ps auxw|grep msync.centos.org::CentOS|grep -v grep" != "" ];then echo "A centos-sync is already running ..." exit fi rsync -aqzH --delete msync.centos.org::CentOS /PATH/TO/YOUR/MIRROR/FILES/ ---- SNAP ---- Kind regards Jens Silvian Cretu wrote: > Hi!
