Thanks to a couple of the very helpful guys on this forum I've been backing up my data using rsync and cp where necessary. Problem is that sometimes the process takes a VERY long time to do, and I lose the real time progress in the telnet console if I close the console window.

Here's how it happens: my computer's plugged in directly to the DNS 323, I open a telnet session, then kick off the process and can view the progress. Problem is if I restart my computer, or even just close the telnet window, I can no longer view the progress of the process in real time from the console output.

Is there a way to 'reconnect' to the process and continue seeing the console output in real time? Sometimes these processes can take hours upon hours upon hours, and if I restart my computer the process still continues because I can hear the DNS 323 working, but it's unnerving not being able to see what it's doing.

Redirect the output to a file. Place the file in a share you can access remotely.
Run rsync like so:

Code: [Select]

rysnc ... >> /mnt/HD_a2/rsync.log 2>&1This will redirect both standard output and errors to rsync.log.

You can add --stats to the command line for a nice summary of the rsync job, which looks like this:

Code: [Select]
