Administrateur@TIKAL2 /etc
$ cat /bin/pre-exec.sh
#! /bin/sh
# Shell script for the pre-exec operaions
cmd /c "c:\cygwin\bin\pre-exec.cmd"
exit 0

Administrateur@TIKAL2 /bin
$ ls -alh *exec.sh
-rwxr-x--- 1 Administrateur None  87 Dec 10 19:17 post-exec.sh
-rwxr-x--- 1 Administrateur Users 96 Dec 11 19:25 pre-exec.sh


but it doesn't work !

Have you remark the error message :

> Remote[1]: rsync error: requested action not supported (code 4) at

I use the 3.0.4 version of rsync in cygwin...

a problem of protocol version between BackupPC and rsyncd/cygwin ?

the return code ?

regards,
jmb
