The big advantage of the star topology is that it eliminates the possibility of confusing “spurious conflicts” arising from the fact that a separate archive is maintained by Unison for every pair of hosts that it synchronizes.’ġ. ‘If you need to do this, the most reliable way to set things up is to organize the machines into a “star topology,” with one machine designated as the “hub” and the rest as “spokes,” and with each spoke machine synchronizing only with the hub.
#UNISON FSMONITOR UPDATE#
The post title is taken from “Super Unison” by Drive Like Jehu from their LP Yank CrimeĪnother update on Unison use for more than two computers. So I needed to ignore the old archives with the flag -ignorearchives. On the first run it detected a Unicode change which I think is due to the new version of Unison. This is saved in ~/.unison/ and I invoke it by running unison syncimac -ui text
Now my profile (syncimac.prf) looks like this servercmd=/usr/local/bin/unison I thought I’d write this down in case it helps anybody. This is actually a solution that is specified in the documentation. I realised that via ssh, the search path is not the same as via bash. I then ran each profile and… command not found. I did this for all 3 macs and checked that Unison was installed by typing unison -versionĪll good. I always run Unison from the command line, but those tools can be installed from this GUI version. You can get a nice compiled version from here.
Let’s face it, Unison has changed in those 3.5 years, so I’ll be getting the latest version. My guess is that it got erased during the upgrade ( not sure what the problem is). I looked in the search path and couldn’t find Unison.
I went to run Unison to sync the days work and – an error. I upgraded to El Capitan on each of the 3 macs. In fact, since I installed and set up my profiles for syncing, I’ve not needed to change a thing. For the past 3.5 yrs I’ve been using Unison to sync files between 3 macs.
