I'm trying to do an rsync backup from dreamhost to another host, here's the command i'd like to use:
nohup rsync -e "/usr/bin/ssh" --bwlimit=2000 -av username@server.dreamhost.com:remote_directory local_directory&
I'd like the process to keep running in the background and even when I disconnect. Problem is, I don't know how to put in the password when it's a background process. How do I do this?
