I'm running an rsync script and it's working well. I have something like:<br />
<br />
rsync -rz &quot;/mnt/source&quot; &quot;/mnt/destination&quot;<br />
<br />
I've tried the --delete-after switch with this but I can't delete the files from the source directory once it's done transferring. <br />
<br />
Can anyone tell me how to totally empty the source once it's finished with the transfer?

delete files/directories from source after rsync is done?

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

The variety of Linux distributions creates myriad issues relating to configuration and operations when computers are networked, not the least of which is the use of various network management applications, some of which are included with specific distributions, while others are standalone applications.
