rsync - Mar 2007 - Feature-Request: --write-batch on destination not source

Hi


I have a "Chain" of rsyncs(*)
A -> B -> C -> D
My problem is that "A" is switched off after the rsync is done. So i
have to copy the "batch" immediately (and manually/via other means) to
"B", before switching off, so the batch can later be retrieved from
"B"
and copied to "C" for --read-batch. And copied further on for
"D".

So for my case if would be great if i could instruct the destination
rsync, of the A -> B stage, to write the batch-file.





*:
Currently the bread and butter:
rsync -axH --delete -e ssh

cryptic, powerful, unforgiving, dangerous.

If you ssh into the B system and run the rsync command there, you can
write the batch on the destination system that way.  If you can't ssh
back into A to make the copy, you could check into ssh's port-forwarding
options, and use a temporary rsync daemon on A for B to access.

I don't plan to make the server able to output the batch file -- I think
it's best that the client does that.
