Please add rsync to sshd's path

I use rsync frequently to send files to libreelec boxes.

The problem is rsync is installed to:

/storage/.kodi/addons/virtual.network-tools/bin

So I always have to run rsync from the client with this parameter:

--rsync-path=/storage/.kodi/addons/virtual.network-tools/bin/rsync

It's ugly and painful.

I know I can also change /storage/.cache/services/sshd.conf to configure sshd to allow overriding the PATH environment variable, then setting it in the client, but this is also ugly and painful.

So I propose 2 possible solutions:

1. include rsync in LibreELEC proper (instead of an addon), put it in /usr/bin.

2. symbolic link: /usr/bin/rsync -> /storage/.kodi/addons/virtual.network-tools/bin/rsync

Quote from Klojum

Can't you put/set in the autostart.sh file, so it is set with every (re)boot?

A symbolic link or whatever?

You didn't understand. LibreELEC is the server. I have to run rsync with those parameters on the client because the server doesn't have rsync in the standard PATH environment.

Quote from chewitt

You can use a bind mount (in autostart.sh) to make it appear in /usr/bin/rsync

Except that /usr/bin is read-only, so you can't.
