I am using the following cron statement to backup from one folder to another folder in the same machine:
19 21 * * * root rsync -ac --delete /source/folder /dest/folder
When I use pstree, I see the cron forked three processes
+-cron---cron---rsync---rsync---rsync
And ps
9972 ? Ds 1:00 rsync -ac --delete /source/folder /dest/folder
9973 ? S 0:29 rsync -ac --delete /source/folder /dest/folder
9974 ? S 0:09 rsync -ac --delete /source/folder /dest/folder
Why are three processes? Can I limit to only one?
