    Hi Torsten.

    03 Jan 19 01:03, you wrote to me:

    I have no rsync daemon installed in OS/2, I'm just running the rsync
    client from OS/2 batch file:
    for %a in ( c d e f g ) (
    rsync.exe -a --delete %a%:\ wat.localnet::backup\rbb\%a%
    )
    But rsync -D is running on your linux box. ;-)

    Anyway, one of the Boxes need to have a daemonized rsync.

    Of course. :) Somehow I like to do it that way.

    yes, it is very much based on ----/4OS2 scripting features...

    You know the scripting language rexx, buildin any OS/2 ?

    of course i do... so what? it is not easily transferrable to other OSes but any
    OS that uses 4DOS and its derivitives can easily use the posted script... besides that, 4DOS scripting is much easier to understand and read... REXX always strikes me as like RPN :shrug:

    Yep. I never learned REXX, because I wrote all my .BATs with 4DOS, and then with 4OS2 and 4NT/TCC.

    yep! i learned enough of REXX to have some scripts that created launch icons for my bbs nodes... by creating them procedurally, i knew their name and so could trigger them procedurally as well... or just click on them... i had something for the mail tossing routine such that when it was running, a mailbox
    with mail in it was displayed... when it was not running, the mail box icon was
    invisible... it was pretty neat when i first did it... later, i removed it and just let the process run without trying to trigger the icon to show...
