Description-en: notification-based directory synchronization daemon
The inosync daemon uses the inotify service available in recent Linux
kernels to monitor and synchronize changes within directories to
remote nodes using rsync.
.
System administrators have relied on cron+rsync for years to
constantly synchronize files and directories to remote machines. It
is not feasible to let authors wait for their content to get
synchronized every x hours with regard to the enormous pace of
articles and podcasts nowadays.
