[CentOS-mirror] Cron Script

[William Dunn]

Here is a complete amateur's effort:

#!/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
#echo "this is where rsync is"
rm -f /root/rsync-scripts/centos.lockfile

Obviously, the echos were there when i was testing it.
