title: FAQ: How can I call a script after each rsync operation?

The issue with this quite frequent request is, by itself it complicates error handling a lot. What should Lsyncd do, when the script fails that it ought to run after each rsync call? If it should recall the post script it would require a new state for each rsync event which would complicate Lsyncd code quite a bit.
|
||||
|
||||
The easiest way to get around this, is by replacing the rsync binary Lsyncd calls by a script from you, that calls rsync and does whatever you want to do, when rsync completes. The only thing to take care is that Lsyncd communicates with rsync using stdin/out/err-pipes and thus better not interfere with these.
|
||||
|
||||
Also take care the script properly forwards the exit code rsync returned.
|
||||
|
||||
This is an example bash script to wrap around rsync:
|
||||
|
||||
{% highlight shell %}
|
||||
#!/bin/bash
|
||||
/usr/bin/rsync "$@"
|
||||
result=$?
|
||||
(
|
||||
if [ $result -eq 0 ]; then
|
||||
echo "my commands";
|
||||
fi
|
||||
) >/dev/null 2>/dev/null </dev/null
|
||||
|
||||
exit $result
|
||||
{% endhighlight %}
|
||||
|
||||
It does not do error handling for post commands. If you need this, you'll have to code them here fitting your requirements.
|
||||
|
||||
Above script can be used as rsync wrapper replacement like this:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
{% highlight lua %}
|
||||
sync {
|
||||
default.rsync,
|
||||
source = "/path/to/source",
|
||||
target = "targethost::targetdir",
|
||||
rsync = {
|
||||
binary = "/path/to/bash/handler.sh"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
{% endhighlight %}
