rsync help

[Shawn Badger]

Thanks, but I am really looking for a bidirectional sync.
For deleting I may be able to come up with a way to compare file listings
and dates. Do something like if filex is older than last sync time and
removed then remove file on other server. But I would like an more elegant
"easy" way of doing this.
