Post operation in rsync

Dear All,

Is there a way to do any specific operation or executing command after copying the file from source to destination using Rsync?

Thanks in advance.

Sorry, I've read your question several times and I can't understand what you mean. I think you should rephrase your question a little more carefully, make it more clear.

Perhaps you mean this:

Code:

$ rsync -whatever -operation && some other command

For example:

Code:

$ cp /etc/fstab ~/fstab-original && echo "backup copy of fstab done successfully"

I don't know, I am just guessing because I find your question confusing.

What I meant for is that, using rsync two directories(difference host) are synchronized properly.
In detail, The file which is newly created in the source directory will be copied to destination if I run the rsync command.

In this case this is only one file, in future it might be more than one. So after copying every file to destination execute some system command.

I think, the requirement has been put on very clearly.

I think you need to get the details,number or size of files, folders copied in each rsync, for this you can automate this task and put some cron entries to count the details in each rsync.
