rsync running?

rsync running?

Gunderman 23 Mar 2009 01:43

Hey everybody,

i'm trying to use my MBWE as a backup tool. Unfortunately i am a complete noob with unix… So far i have managed to get optware installed with rsync and nano. At least i think so. The problem is, that my rsync client doesn't find the MBWE daemon. rsyncd.conf and the securities files should be ok. The options i use, work perfectly for other rsync daemons on my network.
It seems like rsync is not even running after i start it. Since nano doesn't work either (can't be found, no matter if i type /opt/bin/nano), although i can see it's files, i think i've messed up the entire installation.

- Is there a way to check which services (and therefore rsync) are running?
- When i check rsync for it's version it always states version 2.6.8 protocol version 29, latest one should be 3.x i've read.
- How can i start from scratch if the installation is corrupt?

I have no idea which libraries or folders to post to give a hint, so please ask. Everything that i'm sure about is that i'm connecting as root…

Thanks for the reply, i've tried that also, with the same results. Strangely it doesn't accept rsync anymore:

[root@BACKUPWD ~]# /opt/bin/rsync --version
-bash: /opt/bin/rsync: No such file or directory
[root@BACKUPWD ~]# cd /opt
[root@BACKUPWD opt]# cd bin
[root@BACKUPWD bin]# dir
captoinfo  ipkg           ncurses5-config  tic   tset
infocmp    ipkg-opt       reset            toe   update-alternatives
infotocap  ncurses-clear  rsync            tput
[root@BACKUPWD bin]#

please post the result of

# ls -l /opt/bin

I assume there is a problem with the access rights. How did you install the optware packages?

I've installed it according to this guide (old MBWE)
So it's:
wget http://mybookworld.wikidot.com/local--files/optware/setup-optware.sh
sh setup-optware.sh

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/lib

/opt/bin/ipkg update

/opt/bin/ipkg install rsync

[root@BACKUPWD ~]# ls -1 /opt/bin
captoinfo
infocmp
infotocap
ipkg
ipkg-opt
ncurses-clear
ncurses5-config
reset
rsync
tic
toe
tput
tset
update-alternatives
[root@BACKUPWD ~]#

it's not
ls -1
it's
ls -l it's a lower case "L"

please retry …..

Thank you

I assume you were calling /opt/bin/rsync —version as root. I'm right?
I do not understand why you get

[root@BACKUPWD ~]# /opt/bin/rsync —version
-bash: /opt/bin/rsync: No such file or directory

Please make a try. do the follwing as root and post the results.

# cd /root
# which rsync 
# rsync --version
# /opt/bin/rsync --version
# cd /opt/bin
# ./rsync --version          (note the point at the beginning)

I'm using rsync myself, but I haven't installed the optware package for rsync. I'm using the pre-installed version.
So I cannot compare to a working installation. But it seems all ok from my point of view. Perhaps some of the others here in the forum have an idea.

Yes i've installed it as root. My guess is that it's not an rsync specific problem. Nano, the only other optware package i've installed besides rsync behaves quite similarly. It can be seen in the directory but it' not executable/can't be found… Maybe it has something to do with the uclib problems (whatever that means). The optware libraries seem to be referred to correctly, but there is that strange ldconfig directory..

/opt/lib:
        libpanel.so.5 => libpanel.so.5.7
        libncurses.so.5 => libncurses.so.5.7
        libmenu.so.5 => libmenu.so.5.7
        libform.so.5 => libform.so.5.7
        libipkg.so.0 => libipkg.so.0.0.0
ldconfig:
ldconfig: skipping ldconfig: No such file or directory
/opt/lib:
        libpanel.so.5 => libpanel.so.5.7
        libncurses.so.5 => libncurses.so.5.7
        libmenu.so.5 => libmenu.so.5.7
        libform.so.5 => libform.so.5.7
        libipkg.so.0 => libipkg.so.0.0.0
/opt/lib:
        libpanel.so.5 => libpanel.so.5.7
        libncurses.so.5 => libncurses.so.5.7
        libmenu.so.5 => libmenu.so.5.7
        libform.so.5 => libform.so.5.7
        libipkg.so.0 => libipkg.so.0.0.0

Here's the version comparison you suggested, again no answer from optware rsync…

[root@BACKUPWD ~]# cd /root
[root@BACKUPWD ~]# which rsync
/usr/bin/rsync
[root@BACKUPWD ~]# rsync --version

Thx for the replies JpgOrganizer!

After numerous attemps to fix things together i decided to reinstall optware. So I removed the /opt/ directory and all the library entries. The fresh install was smooth and nano as well as rsync work like a charm now. I'm not quite sure what exactly caused the problem but i guess the data feed for the optware package got somehow corrupted. A vague recollection tells me that there have been error messages from the start on. This time i looked closer but things ran fine.
Anyways I'm so grateful for the optware guys and for this forum as the MBWE has become a very valuable tool for me by that
