Login on server as a “root” user.
cd /usr/local/ wget http://lsyncd.googlecode.com/files/lsyncd-2.1.5.tar.gz tar \-xvzf lsyncd-2.1.5.tar.gz cd lsyncd-2.1.5 yum install gcc-c+\+ yum install lua yum install lua-devel ./configure make make install
Now we need to create Linux daemon which call up our customized lsyncd config file. Daemon script would be like…
. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions user=glmstudio config="<path>/lsyncd.lua" lsyncd="/usr/local/bin/lsyncd" lockfile="<lock PATH>/lsyncd" prog="lsyncd" RETVAL=0 start() { if [ -f $lockfile ]; then echo -n $"$prog is already running: " echo else echo -n $"Starting $prog: " #su - $user -c "$lsyncd $config -insist" daemon --user $user $lsyncd $config -insist RETVAL=$? echo [ $RETVAL = 0 ] && su - $user -c "touch $lockfile" return $RETVAL fi } stop() { echo -n $"Stopping $prog: " killproc -d 60 lsyncd RETVAL=$? echo [ $RETVAL = 0 ] && rm -f $lockfile return $RETVAL } case "$1" in start) start ;; stop) stop ;; restart) stop start ;; status) status lsyncd ;; *) echo "Usage: lsyncd {start|stop|restart|status}" exit 1 esac exit $? </lock></path>
Lsyncd.lua file would have your sync configuration. Something as follows.
--SETTINGS settings { logfile = "<path>/lsyncd.log", statusFile = "</path><path>/lsyncd.stat", statusInterval = 300 } --ENDSETTINGS --SERVERS serverlist = {"SERVER1:DISTINATION", "SERVER2:DISTINATION"} --ENDSERVERS for _, server in ipairs(serverlist) do sync { default.rsync, source="<source PATH/>", target=server, delay = 30, rsync = { protect_args = false } } end </path>

There might be the issue during start of lsyncd, as some time list of files are more than max user watches. For fixing this we need to change from following file.
/proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches //Command echo "819211" > /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches
