lsyncd watches a local directory trees event monitor interface (inotify or fsevents). it aggregates and combines events for a few seconds and then spawns one (or more) process(es) to synchronize the changes. by default this is rsync. lsyncd is thus a lightweight live mirror solution that is comparatively easy to install not requiring new filesystems or blockdevices and does not hamper local filesystem performance.

rsync+ssh is an advanced action configuration that uses a ssh to act file and directory moves directly on the target instead of retransmitting the move destination over the wire.

finegrained customizaton can be achieved through the config file. custom action configs can even be written from scratch in cascading layers ranging from shell scripts to code written in the lua language. this way simplicity can be balanced with powerfulness.
