OK, call me dense. I've been through the documentation a dozen times and I'm still not getting things to work properly. As the home page seems to be most kindly described as static, I'm hoping someone here might be able to tell me what stupid configuration mistake I've made.
I currently have two P4 systems that are shared between 6 people. There are two adults (one part time) and four kids (one part time). I'm syncing up the home directory between them. I hope to add a third amd64 PC to relieve some of the pressure for resources. However, before I do, I have to figure out how I managed to screw up automated file deletion. Right now, existing and new files are updated properly. Deleted files have to be manually deleted on each PC.
Anyhow, I have unison running from a root owned cron job on one:
Quote: |
5 2 * * * /usr/bin/nice --adjustment=19 /usr/bin/unison -ui text -batch -force newer -times jps-home.prf
|
The top part of jps-home.prf looks like this:
Quote: |
#
# Include the common variables
#
include common
#
# Set the variables necessary for running in batch mode
# force = newer
# times = true
owner = true
group = true
silent = true
#
# Set the Ignore variables for the home directories
#
....
|
common looks like this:
Quote: |
# UI variables
contactquietly = true
auto = true
# Diff
diff = diff -y -W 79 --suppress-common-lines
# Ignore variables
...
# log actions to the terminal
log = true
|
Can anyone see what I did wrong? |
