I'm trying to replace my cp function by an rsync function My cp function is the following

find /home/odroid/USBHD/Movies/ -iname "*.mkv" -mtime '-1' -exec cp -n {} /home/odroid/NASVD/Movies \;

do you guys have any idea how to do this(note the mtime can also be replaced by --ignore-existing

  • Please refer to the answer [here](http://unix.stackexchange.com/a/156259/47538) on how to use `rsync` with `find`. – Ramesh Sep 27 '14 at 18:24
  • Well.. Unfortunately I can not seem to get that to work. – Jorrick Sleijster Sep 27 '14 at 20:16
  • What are you trying to do exactly? Do you want to replace `cp -n` by `rsync` with the right options, or do you want to replace the whole command line? When you say “the mtime can also be replaced by --ignore-existing”, do you mean that copying all files but ignoring already-existing files would be ok, in which case, why isn't `rsync -a --ignore-existing /home/odroid/USBHD/Movies/ /home/odroid/NASVD/Movies/` ok? – Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' Sep 27 '14 at 23:36
