Add option quiet_if_down.
If a source is not connectable, ccollect.sh issues a series of error messages such as: $ ccollect.sh "int 1" dummy 2009-06-25-21:04:14: ccollect 0.7.1: Beginning backup using interval int 1 [dummy] 2009-06-25-21:04:14: Beginning to backup [dummy] ssh: connect to host Ha port 20: No route to host [dummy] rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [receiver] [dummy] rsync error: unexplained error (code 255) at io.c(600) [receiver=3.0.5] [dummy] 2009-06-25-21:04:17: Error: source Ha:/tmp is not readable. Skipping. 2009-06-25-21:04:17: Finished If you expect the source to be up, you want to see these messages. However, for a notebook computer or other portable machine, it may be normal for it to be disconnected. If quiet_if_down is specified for that source, then the ssh and rsync errors are suppressed and the "Error:" prefix is removed from the "skipping" message: $ ccollect.sh "int 1" dummy 2009-06-25-21:03:33: ccollect 0.7.1: Beginning backup using interval int 1 [dummy] 2009-06-25-21:03:34: Beginning to backup [dummy] 2009-06-25-21:03:37: Source Ha:/tmp is not readable. Skipping. 2009-06-25-21:03:37: Finished I considered the alternative implementation of adding the logic to ccollect_analyse_logs.sh to enable it to separate rsync messages generated the initial connection test from messages generated by rsync used for an actual backup data transfer. Adding this approach to ccollect.sh appeared much simpler.
