I want to sync two files. I.e. if they are different, they are merged together. I thought rsync was the tool for the job, but after playing with it tonight, it just seems to do the same as cp! Or have I got it all wrong? Help! hendry@xxxxxxx:/tmp$ touch test1 hendry@xxxxxxx:/tmp$ touch test2 hendry@xxxxxxx:/tmp$ echo "Hello" >> test1 hendry@xxxxxxx:/tmp$ cat test1 Hello hendry@xxxxxxx:/tmp$ rsync test2 test1 hendry@xxxxxxx:/tmp$ cat test1 hendry@xxxxxxx:/tmp$ echo "Hello" >> test1 hendry@xxxxxxx:/tmp$ cat test1 Hello hendry@xxxxxxx:/tmp$ cat test2 hendry@xxxxxxx:/tmp$ rsync test1 test2 hendry@xxxxxxx:/tmp$ cat test2 Hello hendry@xxxxxxx:/tmp$ cat test1 Hello hendry@xxxxxxx:/tmp$ echo " World" >> test2 hendry@xxxxxxx:/tmp$ cat test2 Hello World hendry@xxxxxxx:/tmp$ cat test1 Hello hendry@xxxxxxx:/tmp$ rsync test1 test2 hendry@xxxxxxx:/tmp$ cat test1 Hello hendry@xxxxxxx:/tmp$ cat test2 Hello hendry@xxxxxxx:/tmp$ -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
