Name        : lsyncd
Product     : Fedora 21
Version     : 2.1.5
Release     : 6.fc21
URL         : http://code.google.com/p/lsyncd/
Summary     : File change monitoring and synchronization daemon
Description :
Lsyncd watches a local directory trees event monitor interface (inotify).
It aggregates and combines events for a few seconds and then spawns one
(or more) process(es) to synchronize the changes. By default this is
rsync.

Lsyncd is thus a light-weight live mirror solution that is comparatively
easy to install not requiring new file systems or block devices and does
not hamper local file system performance.
