Increase verbosity of running rsync process?
I'm running 'rsync -a -i /foo /bar'. Every now and then I would like to know what exactly rsync is doing at the moment without having the -v output all the time. Is it possible to increase the verbosity of running processes e.g. by sending a kill signal?
Solution 1:
I use rsync -v --stats --progress
Solution 2:
I would redirect the output in a file and then tail -f to see the output when desired:
rsync -a /foo /bar >/tmp/rsync.log 2>&1
when needed:
tail -f /tmp/rsync.log
