Hi Ed,

How I said you in the preceded thread, the file hello was created (when I tried the first time. I deleted it recently.).

Now I am send you the contents of the files .. :(but I am not able to understand totally what you suggest me to do)

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 1) the content of the file /ctc/rc./rc.local --------------------------------------------------------------

#!/bin/bash

# this i the file /ctc/rc./rc.local

exec 2> /tmp/rc.local.log # send stderr from rc.local to a log file

exec 1>&2 # send stdout to the same log file

set -x # tell sh to display commands before execution

/home/angelo_dev/bin/syncronize-java_srcs.sh

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 2) the content of the file/home/angelo_dev/bin/syncronize-java_srcs.sh-------------------

#!/bin/bash

# this is the file /home/angelo_dev/bin/syncronize-java_srcs.sh


rsync -av --delete --include='*/' --include='*.java' --include='*.form' --exclude='*' \

                          /home/programmers/java/PROJECTS_development/ \

                        /media/PRTZ-src_sync


(this script works if I launch it from line command)

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 3) the content of the file /tmp/rc.local.log -------------------------------------------------------------

[angelo_dev@zorro ~]$ vi /tmp/rc.local.log

+ /home/angelo_dev/bin/syncronize-java_srcs.sh

(I don't see nothing about the test...)


Thank you


Regards


Angelo

And alternative to this is to have this at the top of your rc.local file....

#!/bin/bash
exec 2> /tmp/rc.local.log      # send stderr from rc.local to a log file
exec 1>&2                      # send stdout to the same log file
set -x                         # tell sh to display commands before execution

And then check /tmp/rc.local.log
