Thanks again John.
I've been tinkering a bit with it and as far as I can work out there
is no way to simply trigger an existing syncset through the command
line or a script. Is this true?

Correct.
 

Also, if I include the option -k, each time I execute the script
another identical syncset is added to the gui. If the script is run 10
times or 100 times the gui could become spammed with identical
syncsets.
As always, if I have missed something completely obvious please let me
know and accept an apology in advance :-)

Yep, you have it correct. I included the -g and -k options in my example so that you could see what was going on. If they are both omitted then the syncset is not show in the gui, and is deleted when the sync finishes. While this will do what you want, it might not be optimal.

As for syncing existing syncsets in the gui, its not currently possible (although it would be easy to add). I should get round to implementing this sometime, but to be honest there are probbably more important things ahead of it in the TODO list. Please file a bug so that I remember!

Otherwise call into the IRC channel and we will be glad to help you out

John

Cheers all,
Shaun
