synchronizes directories with remote targets upon changes

Back to search · Project homepage

Description

Lsyncd watches a local directory tree using libinotify. It aggregates and combines events for a few seconds and then spawns one (or more) process(es) to synchronize the changes. By default this is rsync. Lsyncd is thus a light-weight live mirror solution that is comparatively easy to install not requiring new filesystems or blockdevices and does not hamper local filesystem performance.
