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.

1. Login as erika.
2. Launch cygwin by double-clicking on the desktop icon 
3. 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

4. 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'
   

   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 :
   

5. Now start the rsyncd service:

   net start rsyncd
