To: plug-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us Date: Friday, July 16, 2010, 8:28 AM How can I use two (or more) 'rsync' commands in a single script without having to enter the password separately for each one? Below is a shortened example of a shell script that I use to update files from my local computer to my web host. It works fine, except I have to enter the password separately for each of the 'rsync' commands. How can I modify this so I only have to enter the password once (or perhaps embed the password for each one within the script)? # update.blue rsync -avHp --progress /home/joe/mydata/upquick/ vsiq@box5.bluehost.com:www/upquick/ rsync -avHp --progress /home/joe/mydata/zip/ vsiq@box5.bluehost.com:www/zip/ rsync -avHp --progress /home/joe/mydata/av7/ vsiq@box5.bluehost.com:www/av7/ --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
