rsync log format option (--link-dest)

rbalaa · 04-01-2010, 08:04 AM

Hello,

I'm running rsync and outputting the log to a file using --log-file option. I am also using the --link-dest option, which in turn is adding the hard link creation output for EVERY file in the log file. I want to ONLY show the actual file transfer (if any) that take place.

In the 'log format' section of rsyncd man page here I assume you can do this, I just can't make sence about the code. If someone has better experience with reading it, can you please assist ?

Thanks in advance.

I did not find any "--link-dest" option; can you please correct which option are you using?

I found out I was using the -i option which was causing unwanted information to be logged. If you JUST use the --log-file=$PATHTOLOGFILE then only transfers will be logged.
