!! Rsync execution

The script is like this :
%%prettify
{{{
#!/bin/bash
#
#  backup with rsync to another host
EXCLUDEFILE=`mktemp`
wget --quiet -O - 'http://www.computerhok.nl/JSPWiki/Wiki.jsp?page=RSYNCEXCLUDELIST'|grep EXCLUDEPATTERN | cut -d" " -f2 > $EXCLUDEFILE
echo "excluding following patterns:" `cat ${EXCLUDEFILE}`
rsync --verbose --recursive --delete-excluded --exclude-from=${EXCLUDEFILE} /home/${USER}/ grafspee:/var/lib/vz/backup/${USER}/home/${USER}
rm $EXCLUDEFILE
}}}
%%

Remote execution can be done with the following commands: 
{{{
ssh claudia@bismarck bin/rsyncbackup
ssh esther@gladiator bin/rsyncbackup
ssh anneke@interceptor bin/rsyncbackup
