rsync question: I have a shell script similar to the following (but longer) that I use to copy/sync/backup selected directories and files from my main computer to a backup computer and also to copy/sync/backup those selected directories and files to my web-hosted space. This all works fine, except I have to enter the password for each segment. Is there some way that I could embed the password in this shell script so I do not have to manually type the password each time? echo "starting files copy/sync/backup" rsync -avH --delete --progress /home/joe/dir1/ joe@192.168.0.64:/home/joe/dir1/ rsync -avH --delete --progress /home/joe/dir2/ joe@192.168.0.64:/home/joe/dir2/ rsync -avH --delete --progress /home/joe/dir3/ joe@192.168.0.64:/home/joe/dir3/ rsync -avHp --progress /home/joe/dir1/ website@box123.bluehost.com:www/dir1/ rsync -avHp --progress /home/joe/dir2/ website@box123.bluehost.com:www/dir2/ rsync -avHp --progress /home/joe/dir3/ website@box123.bluehost.com:www/dir3/ echo "FINISHED" --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
