[question/feature request] Is there a explicit option to "force sync" option?
rpgdev opened this issue · 6 comments
I've been getting the "Forced sync is not enabled. NOT proceeding with SYNC job" often due to some file operations I've been doing lately, is there a explicit FORCE_SYNC option? The wording of this warning makes it seem as if there was one but as far as I understand it this can be accomplished by way of either the SYNC_WARN_THRESHOLD or ADD_DEL_THRESHOLD but sometimes you may just want to force a sync via the script. I saw others were using a different config file with such settings changed for such instances but is there a explicit FORCE_SYNC option that can be used? If not, it'd be great to have one that could also be passed as an cli argument to the script.
To achieve a Forced Sync, simply set:
SYNC_WARN_THRESHOLD=0
Which is in fact what I use on my server.
I don't understand why you'd like to have an explicit option for it.
Actually, just re-read all possible values in the config and this will work for me, thanks. I still think a explicit FORCE_SYNC would still be valuable, specially from the command line, then it wouldn't "overload" this option since the wording doesn't suggest that it would be useful for forcing a sync.
This is explicitly stated in the description for SYNC_WARN_THRESHOLD
Set to 0 to ALWAYS force a sync
I know, that's the first thing I acknowledged in my comment.
I guess I just don't see the point of another variable to do the same thing.
I will add a little clarification in the config description.
I know it's easy to miss options: the script has become quite packed of features, but I try my best to document each setting here on GitHub and in the config file.
