Question about running it with cron #77

Closed janvanveldhuizen closed 2 years ago

janvanveldhuizen commented 2 years ago

When the sync is scheduled to run every 5 minutes, what will happen when a sync is still running? Will it just wait until the other one is ready? Or will it simply skip?

It will see that the lock file is still in place and quit, and then successfully run at a later scheduled time when the lock file isn't there.

This works perfectly. I have successfully created an ansible playbook for setting up the sync. I launch the first-sync in the background and create the cron job immediately. It patiently keeps trying until the first-sync is ready. Really great!

I have still one question: my Dropbox contains thousands of files. More than a gigabyte. Would rclonesync be able to handle that?

Should be no problem. Read some of the benchmark info in the readme.
