 - Tree functions execute piped commands (grep, awk) on master when launched on remote slave which can cause more bandwith usage

 Osync uses a master / slave sync schema. It can sync local and local or local and remote directories. By definition, master replica should always be a local directory on the system osync runs on.
 Also, osync uses pidlocks to prevent multiple concurrent sync processes on/to the same master / slave replica. Be sure a sync process is finished before launching next one.

+Additionnaly, you may run osync in monitor mode, which means it will perform a sync upon file operations on master replica.

+	$ ./osync.sh /path/to/your.conf --on-changes

 You may then find osync output in /var/log/osync-*.log (or current directory if /var/log is not writable).
