boy am I lucky.... I didn't run out of room. okay.... I need to rsync two
/home directories. The thing is the two directories are named differently
at the top. one is /home/x and one is /home/y I want everything under x to
look like y. I looked in the man page and I thought I found something but
then I looked on and couldn't find it again to investigate further. I
thought it was in the 'running as a daemon' section but I couldn't find it
again.
