4. 900731 Data Handling for Eye-in-the-Sea on MARS : EITS rsync setup This page last changed on Jan 05, 2009 by dcline. A rsync daemon is used to synchronize the incoming EITS data in e:\EITSincoming with a local file system e:\EITSraw. This rsync process is used in the EITS scripts to initiate workflow processing. IMPORTANT - Install the rsyncd daemon as user erika. Login as erika. Launch cygwin by double-clicking on the desktop icon Create and edit the file /etc/rsyncd.conf and add the following. This assumes the incoming data is in the EITSincoming directory and owned by the user erika. # Allows all hosts in the mbari domain network access hosts allow = 134.89.0.0/255.255.0.0,10.91.0.0/255.255.0.0 read only = yes [EITSincoming] path = /cygdrive/e/EITSincoming comment = Incoming data from the EITS instrument uid = erika gid = Administrators list = yes To install the rsyncd as a service do this:
       cygrunsrv -I "rsyncd" -e CYGWIN=nontsec -p /bin/rsync.exe -a
       '--config=/etc/rsyncd.conf --daemon --no-detach'
5. This rsync service should now come up as a service in Windows. Check this by launching services. Starting at Start->Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services, you should see that the service has been entered : Now start the rsyncd service:
       net start rsyncd
