Sample rsync via ssh script

To sync your site to ahimsa-rsync1 you need to have an account and have ssh keys set up, ask about this in #ahimsa on irc.indymedia.org.

Following are a couple of example scripts for runing the sync.

Using a simple lock file

#!/bin/bash

LOCKFILE=/tmp/rsync.mysitename
SYNC_FROM=/path/to/site/on/local/publishing/box/
SYNC_TO=user@remotehost.example.com:/path/on/remote/server/

lockfile -r 1 $LOCKFILE || exit 23

if [ -f $LOCKFILE ]
then
      echo locked!
      exit 77
else
      touch $LOCKFILE
fi

rsync -e 'ssh' --timeout=120 -CLrptzv --bwlimit=200 --exclude=robots.txt $SYNC_FROM $SYNC_TO

rm -f $LOCKFILE

Using flock

#!/bin/bash

LOCKFILE=/tmp/rsync.mysitename
SYNC_FROM=/path/to/site/on/local/publishing/box/
SYNC_TO=user@remotehost.example.com:/path/on/remote/server/

(
  flock -e 200 || exit 23

  rsync -e 'ssh' --timeout=120 -CLrptzv --bwlimit=200 --exclude=robots.txt $SYNC_FROM $SYNC_TO

) 200>$LOCKFILE
