   osync cannot sync simultaneously multiple targets since initiator files will be modified while one sync operations is ongoing.
   Best thing to do is to launch a batch on modification, ie osync-batch so initiator mods will trigger a full sync to all targets.

   Thanks for the input, but since I require all targets to be updated fairly soon after a modification on the initiator the cron task is not what I need.

   What do you think of setting up inotifywait in a systemd service that will run osync-batch.sh ?

   Have a great weekend,

   That's an ideal idea in your case.
   Would require osync modification to launch osync-batch.sh instead of osync itself.

   The corresponding lines in osync will be

   		if [ "$ConfigFile" != "" ]; then
   			osyncSubcmd='bash '$osync_cmd' "'$ConfigFile'" '$opts
   		else
   			osyncSubcmd='bash '$osync_cmd' '$opts
   		fi
   

   where osyncSubcmd would be replaced with bash /path/to/osync_batch.sh

   Care to check this manually before I'm implementing this ?
