Here is rsync:

http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Networking/Admin/rsync-2.6.9/

download and swinstall all the run-time dependencies and then swinstall rsync. It's very simple.

... and ditto for bash:
http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Networking/Admin/rsync-2.6.9/

Why anyone would want bash over the POSIX shell under HP-UX is a mystery to me but whatever you do make sure that root's shell remains /sbin/sh which is a statically linked, fully functional version of the POSIX shell.

Clay,

Your bash link is a copy of the rsync link :-)

Navin, don't forget to install the Run-time dependencies.

Regards,
Robert-Jan

That was probably a Freudian-slip since I am so fond of that world's greatest shell. Let him install rsync twice.
