Your patch did not really work, as the main loop was not terminating. I fixed that, please test |

Hi,
Thanks for the project, I'm using lsyncd to store config backups on disk, and these need to be restored on initial login -
There's a bit of complexity in the lua conf files I'm writing (rsync --include/excludes), so rather than write a lua conf parser to do the initial restore sync, I added a -onepass switch to lsyncd which would allow me to sync and immediately exit lsyncd.
Then I can reverse the target and source and continue my normal sync operations -
Fyi I've patched the release in ubuntu 18.04, and have adapted that patch for this git repo (but not tested explicitly) - I hope it is ok.
