Rdist works fine when I update directories that have the same name on all machines. But how does one perform the operation of updating a directory that has a different name on the receiving machine. The following does not work. HOSTS = (user@machine1.Stanford.EDU ) FILES = ( /user/user1 ) ${FILES} -> ${HOSTS} install /user/user1/Optical_disk/backup/ ; This only works if the receiving directory is not yet present, once it is there Rdist returns with the message "directory already exists" and exits. Is there a way around this? ############################################################################### Rob Richards @ @ Supercomputer Support Staff > Stanford University - ``Entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem.''
