# lsyncd

> Watch files and directories and run `rsync` when they change.
> It is often used to keep two directories on separate systems in sync, ensuring that changes made in one directory are immediately mirrored to the other.
> More information: <https://github.com/lsyncd/lsyncd/blob/master/docs/manpage/lsyncd.1.txt>.

- Watch the source for changes and run `rsync` to synchronize files to the destination on every change:

`lsyncd -rsync {{path/to/source}} {{host::share_name}}`

- Use SSH instead of `rsyncd` shares:

`lsyncd -rsyncssh {{path/to/source}} {{host}} {{path/to/destination}}`
