I use rsync to back up my wife's Windows system nightly. Occasionally, I find that rsync seems to hang. (I had the same thing with tar). I suspect the issue is that my wife's system is suspending. Once solution would be to install a backup client on my wife's system (which is what I don't want to do) or to schedule rsync at times when my wife is on line. Does anyone know of a tool (couild be client/server) that I could use from Linux to essentially wake up a sleeping Windows system, and keep it from going back to sleep until the rsync is done. (I could write one, but I no longer have a Windows C compiler to write the client side). Another solution is to turn off energy star altogether. -- Jerry Feldman <gaf at blu.org> Associate Director Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9
