I have a lovely functional bash script, which uses rsync to create a backup on a remote server, utilising key-based authentication.
It uses a standalone rsync command, rather than having to set up an rsync server. It runs on a cron job, for a user specifically created to handle the sync process.
It writes logs to a directory in /var/log on the local machine, and everything is great. I would like it to be possible to write logs to the remote server too, which is where I'm a bit stuck.
I'd like to avoid having to use another rsync command to transfer the local log file within the script if possible, but if that's the only sensible way, so be it.
Is there a simple mechanism to write a log on the remote end?
