## Name

%rsync — report the stati to a remote Big Sister server

## Synopsis

`%rsync` [host`:port` prefix GROUP1 ... GROUPN]

## Description

This statement tells 'bbd' to regularly (each 5 minutes cycle) build a list of stati known to it and report them to a remote status collector. Each host name is prepended by a prefix (prefix "none" means no prefix). Currently only host stati can be synced. No group information is exchanged.

Let's say your bbdisplay machine is A and another bbdisplay machine is called B and you want stati arriving on B be transfered to A; -so you could do an rsync on B via:

     %Rsync A:1984 prefix GROUP

| Note
Using ssh-tunnels for exchaning status information and getting around firewall-"problems" is always a good idea!
