# ocf\_heartbeat\_rsyncd(7)

Manages an rsync daemon

## NAME

ocf\_heartbeat\_rsyncd - Manages an rsync daemon

## SYNOPSIS

**rsyncd** \[start \| stop \| monitor \| meta-data \| validate-all\]

## DESCRIPTION

This script manages rsync daemon

## SUPPORTED PARAMETERS

**binpath**

The rsync binary path. For example, "/usr/bin/rsync"

(optional, string, default "rsync")

**conffile**

The rsync daemon configuration file name with full path. For example, "/etc/rsyncd.conf"

(optional, string, default "/etc/rsyncd.conf")

**bwlimit**

This option allows you to specify a maximum transfer rate in kilobytes per second. This option is most effective when using rsync with large files (several megabytes and up). Due to the nature of rsync transfers, blocks of data are sent, then if rsync determines the transfer was too fast, it will wait before sending the next data block. The result is an average transfer rate equaling the specified limit. A value of zero specifies no limit.

(optional, string, no default)

**start**

```

## EXAMPLE PCS
