Great article, I’ll have to try creating a script to run rsync for my back ups ![]()
Very well written. Thinking about other publications I’ve read regarding Bash Scripting, your article, without becoming a book, is about as complete in terms of including all of the most important commands and examples, so it’s one of our best in the Articles and Guides category yet; VERY well done!
Thanks Brian! I would love to have another guest blog post from you if or when the time and topics arise. I’ve been a bit slow with posts… these last few months have been time challenging.
Guest posts are always welcomed guy, just shoot me a message and please continue to share your own blog posts in the Articles & Guides (and it’s sub categories), the News & Shares and Showcase categories.
This is a great intro for me - will be trying this out on the train tomorrow ![]()
Thank you Hayden. Right now it’s the “time” that will be a challenge. This weekend I’ll be out of state for a funeral for one of my sisters.
On the opposite extreme, at the end of November through mid December I’ll be in Massachusetts to assist my daughter with her first son as she gives birth to another son. My son already has TWO daughters; soon my daughter will have two sons.
Right after we return from all of that we’ll be doing some Christmas related local visits with family; there genuinely won’t be a lot of time for anything. Just reading Email to prevent it from getting out of control with too much to either digest, file, or outright remove, even time on this forum may drastically decrease, at least for a while, though I’ll certainly be back once things quiet down again!
Deepest condolences Brian!
Safe travels and return. The year is almost over!
Thank you, and as my beloved Austrian actor and muscle bound guy, even a Kintergarten Cop - would say, “I’ll be BACK”! ![]()
