#!/bin/bash # # Check slackware-current # # Where to download from # should script it so that the different sources can be listed and # selected from the command line SOURCE=”rsync://slackware.mirrors.tds.net/slackware/slackware64-current” # Change as necessary OPTIONS=”-avzP —delete —delete-after” EXCLUDE=”—exclude=pasture —exclude=kdei \ —exclude=zipslack” DEST=”/home/milanb/arhiva/install/distre/slackware/current64/download/” case “$1” in “-c” ) echo “Checking…” /usr/bin/rsync $OPTIONS $EXCLUDE —dry-run $SOURCE $DEST ;; “-d” ) echo “Downloading…” /usr/bin/rsync $OPTIONS $EXCLUDE $SOURCE $DEST ;; * ) echo “Usage: `basename $0` {-c|-d}” echo -e “ -c : Check for updates” echo -e “ -d : Download updates” exit ;; esac ######################################################Tweet to @mbabuskov Tweet Milan Babuškov, 2009-07-03
