rcp truncates files.

Thanks to Glenn Satchell and Peter Gray for

advising us of the existence of the rdist utility which

appears to fit the bill for us.

My original post as under neglected to mention that

we believed the cause to be due to the frame relay

link momentarily going down.

Hello Sun Managers.

We have a situation whereby using rcp to copy

between machines connected by frame relay link

can result in incomplete last lines on the target site;

with no apparent error returned to the initiating

procedure.

Any experience on this would be appreciated; should

we be forgetting rcp and using say ftp instead?

The procedure is part of a timed replication

sequence run by cron.

TIA
