rsync not quitting and running next rsync
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
I have a shell script that has 6 rsync commands. What it should do is run the first and then move on to the next. However, what it does right now is do the first once it is finished it'll hang and just say: receiving incremental file list
This is what the command looks like:
rsync -avzhe ssh user@sever.name.net:/dir/dir/dir/dir/dir/dir/* /dir/dir/dir/dir/
Why is it that the command just hangs like this instead of going to the next rsync command?
shell-script shell rsync

Drop the z perhaps its taking to long to compress if there are a lots of files.
Try rsync with just the options -avn see if there is any difference.
This of course assumes the normal things like being able to scp the files from that location to your current location and permissions etc.
