Question: I know Dropbox sometimes does funny things to the calibre library if run together -- even on linux, potentially (which doesn't lock files). It is usually recommended to run one then the other.

For instance, I have a calibre wrapper, which rsyncs my libraries to the dropbox folder on closing, (as well as wrapping in calibre-debug for automatic logging even via the .desktop).

In what manner would you suggest replacing that with rsycnc? Would that render monit on the server unnecessary? Would it not really cause any difference, thus making it pointless to replace one with the other?
