I have couple of questions regarding rsync tasks.
I have an rsync task running nightly.
Question 1.
If the rsync task takes longer than 2 days. Will I have 2 tasks running concurrently the next day? or is there a lock mechanism?
Quesiont 2.
How would I go about sending me report of the execution of the task?
I would like to see if there are any errors or if there was a success? (I know how to check /var/log/messages, and I don't want to do this I want simplicity and automation)
I didn't see anything in daily output email. What is the best practice in this regard? Simple email similar to daily cron output would be perfect.
Thank you
