Q3: Write a shell/bash script to sync two folders on different servers. The script will run after every 10
minutes in crontab. Write crontab entry as well. Print logs with current date time at the start and end of
script.
SSH access verified between the two machines, you can sync the dir1 folder from earlier to a remote
computer by using this syntax
rsync -a ~/dir1 username@remote_host:destination_directory

For crontab entry we can simple do “crontab –e”


0 19 * * * rsync -a ~/dir1 username@remote_host:destination_directory
