Hello memo.

Ah. I was just asking. I don't know this app.

Someone knowledgeable will answer you shortly, I am sure.

Good luck.

BFN.

You would have to find the source code for the command and compile it yourself, I suspect.

The puppy version of sync is a symlink to busybox.

FWIW, I checked and found that "sync" is part of GNU linux "coreutils"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_G ... s_commands

You will probably have to download, then compile coreutils then copy the resultant standalone version of "sync" over to /bin and overwrite the busybox symlink.

I have done this before with various coreutil commands when the busybox versions were too aggressively truncated ..
