Dear List, I run the following every night for backing up purposes off-site, it is started via crond: rsync -arz --ignore-errors --delete-after --stats --exclude 'PM_UPD_*' /Volumes/Source/ /Volumes/Dest/ > /logs/log.txt I would like to do the following: have it stop gracefully at 6AM and then dump the report to the log.txt as if it had finished. I understand I could create another cron job to kill rsync at 6AM, but I think that would also kill the output from rsync, thereby not telling me what has been done so far. Any thoughts on how I should kill rsync? Thanks... Julian
