inotify config:
/usr/bin/inotifywait -e modify \
-mrq --timefmt %a-%b-%d-%T --format '%w%f %T' \
/var/www/ | while read file; do
echo "$file " >> /var/log/inotify.log
============================================================================
files that updated with rsync from remote server have this format:
/var/www/.index.php.3AYEV4 Wed-Sep-24-05:35:03
other files updated locally, they are good.
/var/www/index.php Wed-Sep-24-05:35:03
why is that?
The format is the same, it is the file names that are different.
It is because the way rsync works by default - it first creates temporary files (like .index.php.3AYEV4) and when they are finished syncing, only then they get renamed to final filenames (like index.php). You can either modify your inotifywait to have -e modify,move or change upsteam rsync to not use temporary files by using rsync --inplace flag (but see notes on --inplace)
