[CentOS-mirror] New Mirror Setup Questions

[Maeltor]

Forgive me for being somewhat green here

I have a few more questions.   Does this script look reasonable?  Is  
there anything I need to adjust to use the lock files you posted?
I want to restrict my mirror to Ver 5 to save on space and bandwidth  
(and since realistically it probably won't be used by many people  
other than me).

Please have a look at this script:

#!/bin/sh

# please adjust
lock=~/`basename ${0}`.lock

if [ -f ${lock} ]; then
        # This ensure script didn't die w/o removing lock
        # Ex: power failure
        [ -d /proc/`cat ${lock}` ] && exit 0
fi

clean () {
        rm -fr ${lock}
}

trap clean 0

rsync="/usr/bin/rsync -aqHz --delete --delay-updates"

# this should be auto-selected, but the centos mirror script doesn't
# support selection by a specific protocol (i.e., rsync)
#mirror=mirror.stanford.edu::mirrors/centos
#mirror=centos.cs.wisc.edu::centos
#mirror=mirrors.usc.edu::centos
mirror=us-msync.centos.org::CentOS

ver=5
archlist="i386 x86_64"
baselist="os updates"
local=/var/www/centos

for arch in $archlist
do
   for base in $baselist
   do
     remote=$mirror/$ver/$base/$arch/
     $rsync $remote $local/$ver/$base/$arch/
   done
done
