The -n and -i options suggested by Chris and James are useful. They do what I originally wanted to do. But it turns out that the batch support is even better. The rsync people are really smart.

Whilst I did learn a thing or two with this thread, thank you very much, I am astounded that you can seem to have no trouble reading Wikipedia articles to attack people, but you can't seem to read a man page? It's not the first time something so basic about a Linux tool or operation has escaped your vast experience and that really surprises me. The other most significant oversight from you was the checkarray processing of software RAID. Just the same, interesting, I'm sure you are a very knowledgeable Linux user, but sometimes I just wonder in total amazement. Cheers A.
