I'm trying to figure out how to regularly sync a new Powerbook I got with my desktop copies of Addressbook, etc.
Very comfortable with cron job, unix scripts, etc.
Maybe I'm trying to use rsyncX for something besides its intended purpose.
On my powerbook I want to have
cronjob: once/day, copy AddressBook from desktop to powerbook
to me that makes the desktop my server, and the pb the client, but already the terminology seems to be falling apart with rsync (which wants to push files from the client to the server).... I'd prefer to "pull" the files from the desktop onto my powerbook since the desktop has an "always-on" dyndns addr, and powerbook could be anywhere.
So an scp option would be best. Perhaps a simple shell script is the way to go, but thought something might already exist.
Thanks,
Mike
