DESCRIPTION¶
Lsyncd(1) watches local directory trees through an event monitor interface (inotify, fsevents). It aggregates and combines events for a few seconds and then spawns one or more processes to synchronize the changes. By default this is rsync(1). Lsyncd is thus a light-weight asynchronous live mirror solution that is comparatively easy to install not requiring new filesystems or blockdevices and does not hamper local filesystem performance.OPTIONS¶
-delay SECSOverrides the default delay times.
-help
Show a help message.
-insist
Continues startup even if a startup rsync
cannot connect.
-log LEVEL
Controls which kind of events are logged. By
default Lsyncd logs Normal and Error Messages. -log
scarce will make Lsyncd log Error messages only. -log all will log
all debug messages.
-log Category
Turns on a specific debug message. E.g.
-log Exec will log all processes as they are spawned.
-nodaemon
Lsyncd will not detach from the invoker and
log as well to stdout/err.
-pidfile FILE
Lsyncd will write its process ID in
FILE.
-runner FILE
Makes the Lsyncd core load the part of Lsyncd
written in Lua from FILE.
-version
Writes version information and exits.
EXIT STATUS¶
0Terminated on a TERM signal(7)
-1
Failure (syntax, unrecoverable error
condition, internal failure)
