Hello Wayne.
From the above, it seems you are running rsync over a remote shell.
Which works fine as a shell script, prompting for the password..
Trick is I'd like to send the command with the password..
I've figured out three things..
1.
I can use a variable RSYNC_PASSWORD=mypassword
or
2.
Store the password in a file, then use the command
--password-file=/ path/to/password/file
3.
Use ssh-keygen to store the passwords..? Not really what I want.
However, i don't seem to be able to get the syntax working for either
of the two first options (my preferred options).. ?
According to rsync's man page, 1. and 2. only apply when syncing to a
remote rsync server, not when running rsync over a remote shell.
Put in other words, 1. and 2. store a password used to authenticate
against a remote rsyncd daemon, not to authenticate a remote user.
HTH,
Axel
