using rsync from command line
My Oracle DBA would like to move files from one server to another. He has been using scp but it is slow (takes about and hour) I have rsync setup and am using it to move files from each server to a thrid server from a cron task on the third server. This method uses a special Solaris account. I use the follow syntax to invoke rsync:
/opt/csw/bin/rsync -av --delete --rsh="ssh -l solarisacct -x -c blowfish" --rsync-path="/opt/csw/bin/sudo /opt/csw/bin/rsync" serva:/var/opt/csw/orca/orcallator/serva/ /var/opt/csw/orca/orcallator/serva > /dev/null 2>&1
/opt/csw/bin/rsync -av --delete --rsh="ssh -l solarisacct -x -c blowfish" --rsync-path="/opt/csw/bin/sudo /opt/csw/bin/rsync" serva:/var/opt/csw/orca/orcallator/serva/ /var/opt/csw/orca/orcallator/serva > /dev/null 2>&1
