Here is what I want to do:
- Copy a number of files (using a wildcard, like logapplication*.tar.gz)
from one server to another
- Once done, I want to delete the files from the source server.
The first step is easy to do... ssh keys, cronjob, and scp. However, can I
be sure that the file has been copied successfully? I thought of comparing
md5sums source/destination before deleting the source.
Could rsync be of help?
Yes. See the --remove-source-files option in "man rsync". It does
exactly what you are asking for.
Did you even bother to read "man rsync" before asking this question?
Yes, I did read it. I still wasn't sure of the expected result. I could
have tested it thought.
It is --remove-sent-files
--remove-sent-files
This tells rsync to remove from the sending side
the files
and/or symlinks that are newly created or whose
content is
updated on the receiving side. Directories and devices
are not
removed, nor are files/symlinks whose attributes are
merely
changed.
