Rsync (Deltacopy) not working...

1-oct-09 I changed the time at which deltacopy runs. In scheduled tasks in windows, quicktoblackhawk was running about 2:30 am which was about 30 minutes or an hour after quicktojupiter was running (I think). I changed it to where quicktoblackhawk runs BEFORE quicktojupiter so that if it were to hang somehow while running quicktojupiter, it would not matter because files would already have been copied to blackhawk by quicktoblackhawk. Getting the files offsite to blackhawk is more important than getting them onto jupiter.

I also changed to 2 hours (instead of 72 hours) the time to allow the task to run. I did this on the settings tab of the scheduled job (stop the task if it runs for...)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
21-sep-09 The quickbooks files do not appear to be getting updated nightly as they should from quick at Shamrock to blackhawk at Cotton Plant. The files on blackhawk are now about a week old. But the quickbooks files on jupiter are more or less up to date, so rsync must be successfully copying the qbooks files from quick to jupiter but NOT from quick to blackhawk

When you are sitting at quick and you start the Deltacopy client and you right click on the profile "quick_to_blackhawk" and choose "display run command", this is the result:

Executing: rsync.exe -v -rlt -z --delete "/cygdrive/C/qbooks/" "64.16.231.180::BHserver/qbooks/"
Profile 'quick_to_blackhawk' executed in 16 milliseconds. It ran successfully.

According to the quick deltacopy client, the server is the remote computer; so blackhawk is one server and jupiter is another.

When you look at sceduled tasks on quick, the status of the "quicktoblackhawk" task is "running". There's something wrong with that because it is not supposed to run until 9:30 PM each night. It is now 10:24 AM, so something is wrong there. The status of the "quicktojupiter" task is blank, which I assume means that it is not running which is correct because it's not supposed to run until 2:28 AM every night.

So perhaps the "quicktoblackhawk" task is hung on quick. I will delete the task in scheduled tasks and then re-enter it and see if that causes the qbooks files to be copied to blackhawk tonight.
