Run Script when Rsync Completes.

[Gareth Hill]

Hey all...again another question regarding Rsync.

As previously mentioned I sync files from my Freenas to my HTPC, I like to have this run late at night usually after midnight. my HTPC does not need to stay on all night/day and sometimes I do not even use it for a few days. Question is can I can a script after an Rsync profile completes? I have a script that will shutdown the HTPC but I'd like this to only run after completion rather than at some arbitrary time which would cause rsync to not complete.

Thanks again!

If you can find the script that runs rsync you could modify it to perform the shutdown after the rsync completes. Note that doing what you want to do basically voids all 'warranty' with FreeNAS working properly. Not to mention we don't recommend shutting down servers because they DO do stuff at night...

Sorry Cyberjock I think I did not make myself clear, the shutdown script is to shutdown the HTPC not the Freenas server. I am happy to leave that on now

Oh! Ok. I misread what you wrote. So used to people asking about their server. I'm going to move this to off-topic since it's not a FreeNAS question. ;)

Thanks well the rsync runs on Freenas and I wanted the Freenas to execute a "remote shutdown" script that will shut down the HTPC once it had finised pushing files over

Thanks for help I resolved this myself, Created a script that runs the RSYNC on the freenas and then shuts down the remote PC. Schedule this with Cron and did not use the RSYNC options within Freenas - works great and even wrote in error reporting for the RSYNC failures.
